Mastodawn

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.

@olavf Yep! And you know where she’s not? On #Mastodon or #Kbin or #Calckey or #Friendica—none of which are funded by billionaires.

Has she even heard of them? Has she ever mentioned them publicly and explained why? Or does she physically just not know of them and just never established a presence on them?

Someone of here stature often has a PR group helping her with her presence, and they might just not feel #Mastodon, and the #Fediverse is worth the extra effort.
