thumperI’m over here now, too. I’m an equal opportunity “let’s get the fuck off Twitter” kind of guy.
SunLocked@thumper Honest question, because I am also frustrated with the current situation: We got screwed by Tumblr, by Twitter, by WordPress.com… Is there any hope that another commercial platform will be any different?
Personally, I don’t trust any of them anymore. That’s why I will stay here until I find something, which is both, better and free (uncommercial).
@SunLocked Bluesky’s not commercial. They’re trying to create a protocol like Mastodon (and also compatible with Mastodon). But it’s easier to use and way more laid back than Mastodon. I dunno what’s going to happen but people simply aren’t coming here and they are (as fast as the invites allow) going to Bluesky. So we’ll see.
ctrledboy@thumper @SunLocked Until Bluesky has federation that doesn’t depend on the BlueSky PBLLC it can be bought and ruined. Even if they get federation, if the default instance is the official one run by the PBLLC then the PBLLC will still have too much leverage. So I’m skeptical that it will have any resistance to enshitification.
If it becomes clear they have resistance I’ll join but so far I’ll deal with fewer more engaged followers here.
