Isn't it crazy how AOC seems concerned about the possibility of one billionaire-backed #Twitter clone (#Threads) potentially outshining another billionaire-backed Twitter clone (#Bluesky)?

I really wish she understood the reasons behind Threads having an advantage over Bluesky: rather than embracing #ActivityPub, Bluesky decided to develop their own protocol entirely.

It all comes down to a certain billionaire, Jack Dorsey, who wasn't keen on collaborating with the established #Fediverse. That's why Bluesky is most likely headed for failure.

Politicians, celebrities, and journalists will always follow the crowd.

Crazy how our "leaders" are all just sheep.

They're so desperate for eyeballs (legitimate or no) but don't want to put in any actual work, so they'd rather set up shop with the people they hate on in congressional hearings and news reports. Hypocrites gotta hypocrite.
