“Why don't you like BlueSky?"
Twitter taught me something. Any "For Profit" company is going to be a slave to its need for growth, its investors, and corporate greed.
BlueSky says “We don't want to be like that”. but they're also a for profit company that is going to end up a slave to their investors and their greed just like any other for profit company.
I don't feel like establishing myself there, just to have it all come apart in a few years like Twitter did. Because that's inevitable.
@Drakon @xoagray As much as I agree with the expectation of Bluesky's inevitable enshitification, I really really hope we're all wrong.😮💨
I WANT to be wrong about the trajectory of all privately-owned social media platforms.
I WANT there to be another way forward, thru the sinkhole of greed that consumed all before.
...but I just can't see one, right now, & can't bear the thought of riding another train into that pit.😞
@GoodNewsGreyShoes to me it doesn't matter if I am right or wrong about corpo social media because I really think that fedi is my internet forever home.
Not because I don't like Facebook, Twitter, or Bluesky; but because I like fedi.
@PetrichorSquirrel Totally fair; what we think about BS, X, etc. really doesn't change much at all, especially considering just how little influence we have on the trajectory of a platform that we're *not even users of*.🤷
Investing into the communities & relationships we already have, right here, is definitely a much better use of that time/energy/thought.👍❤️
Even then, I think the 'fate' of other platforms like BS should matter to us; we'll certainly be affected by it here, one way or another.
