Schrödinger's Prat

Oh, your favourite Twitter alternative has finally been acquired by vulture capitalists and its enshittification is imminent?

Well, colour me shocked. Shocked I tell you. Who could possibly have seen this coming?

Microsoft should have bought Bluesky and rolled it into 365. It would have been so fucking funny.

@ copilot is this true?

@icil

Sure! I'm happy to check this. Currently, I don't see any evidence that Microsoft bought the social media site Bluesky. However, it may be possible that it could happen in the future!

Would you like me to format this response as a haiku?

Can't get that much worse honestly. Their current staff is already complete ghouls when it comes to moderation and enshittified features are the least of my worries about the platform, luckily wafrn has native atproto support so I can look in on things without being directly affected by their garbage

I'm always happy when I outlive a social media platform's relevance, but they really did a speedrun on this one.

Even worse.. (Just like Facebook)... all of their "decentralization" bullshit was actually just a false flag play to scrape posts from people on other (actually decentralized) social networks, for the AI bros to steal
