amazing how this place is still less appealing than the literally crashing and burning bird app, I can see why bluesky is the one people are generally favouring
@GarethDennis communities take time to build, and that means we need to put the effort in. Build it and they will come. Bluesky is going to go the exact same way as Twitter given enough time. We have to stop engaging in digital sharecropping!
@GarethDennis to that end I'm going to start doing railways explained threads again, and I'll be posting them here. If people want my content, they can get it on a platform that doesn't support billionaires, right wing grifters and transphobia.
@25kV @GarethDennis Gareth, we need people like you here to encourage others over.
@25kV @GarethDennis I'm inclined to agree. Unless Bluesky becomes properly federated, there's a risk that it could go the same way as Twitter or Reddit.
@neilturner @GarethDennis It's literally owned by the guy that sold Twitter to Space Trump, so why would we think it will end any differently?
@25kV @GarethDennis Exactly. I mean, hopefully Bluesky won't get taken over by a Space Karen 2.0 but I'm not willing to take that chance again.
