“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.
@xoagray also the much too short character limit, allowing only 320 characters
Mastodon has 500 and thatsstill often not enough to write down something meaningful
@crazy_pony @xoagray Agreed!🙌
Limiting post length doesn't encourage ppl to "say more with less", it just makes them *say less!*🙄
When ppl have less room to describe their thoughts they end up presenting a simplified version that may omit details & nuance (& is far easier for others to misinterpret!).
(If you'd like to help change the 500 char limit, leave a 👍 &/or comment on the GitHub thread at https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/27433, & ask others to do the same!)
@GoodNewsGreyShoes @xoagray
I have often the impression that many people dont even want to get a nuanced reply. So a service that limits comments to dump a few words is actually what they want.
My experience trying Bluesky looked this way https://rubber.social/@crazy_pony/111300503670531835
My own posts got entirely unanswered
Attached: 1 image @[email protected] I have no idea what i should do with Bluesky All the furs and kink people are aggressively pulling in their friends to use BS Also these who run events seem to have abandoned Fdeiverse, or not used other places at all But seeing the style HOW they post there, i have no idea how to catch any meaningful information, so far i have failed to get replies at all to attempts starting conversations. No idea if they ignore me or if i am kept invisible from the algorithm No idea how to fit in
@crazy_pony @xoagray Yeah that's fair, not everyone WANTS to discuss things in great detail or explore stories / ideas in new, different ways.🥲
Sad to hear people aren't answering your posts/replies - that's just rude!😤
