TILvidsAnd this is exactly why I don't trust #Bluesky over #Mastodon. They don't even have a real foothold yet and they're already looking for monetization angles to enrich themselves.
Stick with the truly open, #decentralized protocols, folks.

tqwhite@tilvids @mastodonmigration I go for the principle that if you’re not paying, you are the product. I will pay for bsky immediately. I’d pay here though I seem to have more people engage with me there even though I spent the last year posting the same to both. I believe in paying for things I enjoy. It simply seems less selfish.
⁂ Jnk ∞ 📎@tqwhite @tilvids @mastodonmigration this principle fails miserably when someone like Adobe claims the full rights over anything you make with their software, which requires a subscription over the hundred euros per year. Or Googlle openly spying on your emails to target ads even if you pay them another subscription.
Same with bluesky, you will just go from being a product to being a profitable product. I mean you do you, I'm just warning that these people does not have the code of honor you want to follow, only profit.

maple@tilvids Honestly I would be happy to say with decentralized protocols if you could know that you would see all of the posts on a particular topic immediately after they are posted, but you don't. Half the time, if someone starts posting a thread consisting of multiple parts (because they are on a crappy instance that only allows 500 character posts) you are lucky if you see any parts after the first.
With centralized protocols you know that you're probably going to see all the posts for something you have subscribed to, almost immediately after they are posted.
(And don't even get me started on the shortcomings of user interfaces in the decentralized world!!)
Manik@tilvids @ChrisWere what's so wrong that that?
