Extremely NON Marie Antoinette voice: « Let them join Bluesky »
Dear people of the Fediverse, do not feel disappointed to see so many people doing a mass migration from X and Threads to Bluesky. I think it’s a GOOD thing they are headed there.
What attracts them to a network with visible metrics and custom algorithms means they are not ready for the Fediverse. And I wouldn’t want them to change the (awesome) culture of this place. As @sennoma said earlier, let the Fediverse grow slowly
@_elena It's a shame they use a different protocol. On Threads I think I could cross-post good toots from Mastodon accounts as a sort of advertising for Mastodon. I'm not sure that works well on Bluesky when you have to go through a bridge.
In any case, the collapse of 𝕏 should give other platform operators pause if they are thinking of anti-user policies.
Fucking Christ the @protocol is the most obtuse crock of shit I've ever looked at. It is complex solely for the sake of being complex and still suffers from *all* of the same problems as Mastodon. Your server goes down? Sorry, all of your followers are lost. Account portability is no better than Mastodon. 'DIDs' serve literally no purpose. And none of the API code that Bluesky uses in their own app validates ANY of the crypto they're doing on the server. NONE OF IT.
