Yeah the more I think about it , the more I realize exactly how dumb it is that furries looked at a fediverse run by other furries, FOR other furries, and said “Looks complicated, I’ll go to Twitter 2 instead”
“Bluesky is run by the same people who didn’t ban Trump’s account” is what did it for me

@Aster Yeah, I was almost willing to believe that was just him being a super-capitalist.

Until I saw that he's endorsed RFK Jr. for 2024.

The RFK Jr. that's transphobic and believes that there's chemicals in the water turning people gay. Not to mention he's an anti-vaxxer.

So yeah, Dorsey's a piece of shit and I'd rather not use any website he's involved with.

@Aster That's what I've been saying, but they keep perpetuating the fallacy that masto is too complicated
@markybuns thank you for always being based 🙏
@markybuns @Aster
It seems that so many people including popular furries are not interested in an alternative for Twitter
They are looking for a new Twitter that is the same way as before
@Aster I'm trying to think of Bluesky as “normie containment”. If we don't want Fedi to turn into the same drama-filled cesspool that Twitter was, we have to be willing to let people go.

@Aster yyyyep. most of them came over here for 5 minutes, screamed i dont like this when reminded about CWs or alt text, and went back to twitter.

i know because i was one of them at first, but i came back, found an instance i like with admins i trust, and oh no, its wonderful over here

@Aster honestly yeah. The only thing that sets it different is that it’s basically Twitter 1.0 but buggier from being in beta, which just sounds like the social media equivalent of getting a food order where there’s one thing wrong with everything.
@Aster Fluffs are their own worst enemy sometimes, but I did see INAX make a misskey, so hoping more big artists give this a chance~
