Thom HolwerdaBoth Twitter and BlueSky - backed by untold amounts of money and white tech bros - are down.
Mastodon - run by trans furries and femboys high on anxiety - is running just fine.
Kilorat🐀@thomholwerda I do wonder why people are talking about Bluesky and get excited about joining a waiting list, when Mastodon is right here and works fine.
Daniel Tuttle 🌵🤘@kilorat @thomholwerda the consensus seems to be that 1) the culture here is too rigid about things like alt tags etc 2) the onboard is complicated, most people didn't know how to choose a server etc. Supposedly Bluesky intends to address that but idk how. That's what I read over and over.
Jiří Fiala Total Landscaping@DanielTuttle @kilorat @thomholwerda I'm there and I don't see it. The onboarding isn't that much easier. There's much less content and fewer ways to get it.
@stooovie @kilorat @thomholwerda onboard was easier. I didn't have to select a server which is a thing that makes a lot of people super anxious. I'm not sure how blue sky will deal with that as it grows though
