Why not just use mastodon? Why is this better in any way? Twitter was already going to shit before Elon accelerated it.
At least in my own bubble, many did switch to Mastodon. Those that didn't are looking at other options, because the whole federation idea and things like home instances didn't appeal to them or were simply too complicated (they want a service that at least hides its decentralized nature).
the fuck is bluesky?
old twitter founder jack created another social platform just like how twitter was except it has a protocol very similar to activitypub (but not it so not compatible)
Some sort of centralized alternative to Mastadon. Kinda silly tbh.
So we've all decided to give Jack Dorsey another chance to do the same thing he did last time?
What did he do last time? Never used Twitter so I have no clue what people hated about it
Well, refused to ban Trump for years no matter how many sitewide rules he broke, for starters.
Let's just put our social media in the hands of the exact same guy who fucked everyone over last time. Because that makes perfect sense.
I always find it a weird take when people treat Twitter before Musk like it was some sort of wonderful place that people enjoyed.
Like the joke of old:
Internet Explorer: the best browser for downloading other browsers
There's an earlier version of this Fediverse Tree diagram where everything is more carefully on branches and the sky is... Blue. Bluesky. Bluesky is very much a response to the Fediverse. As a replacement. As a more popular and more important service.
Don't quite get why Wordpress is anywhere near this. Isnt this a website solution?
Their blogs just got integrated fairly recently with the fediverse.
What's with Lemmy users doing free advertising for corporate social media like this? You're already here, so you should know better, right?
I mean, yeah, I'm on Lemmy and lots of other sites in the Fediverse, but why would that make me "know better"? Is my account supposed to give me some profound insight that sets me apart from the plebs on other sites? What I begin to know unfortunately is that the Fediverse and Lemmy in particular would be much more popular if it wasn't so full of self-absorbed comments like this. The sole point of this post was to share something I found interesting that day, but if the mere mention of services that aren't Lemmy provokes these kinds of comments, then I fear Lemmy will never make it out of obscurity. JFC
No, having an account won't give you insight, but what I'm getting at is that most of us are here to get away from the glaring flaws of corporate social media. Obviously I want as many people as possible to join the Fediverse, and I don't see how advocating for or at the very least normalizing more the exact kind of corporate-controlled platforms that drove most of us here is going to help that.
It's dead lets move on to intresting things
Twitter or Bluesky? It's both actually and you can add threads to that list as well.
Neither, a lot of celebrities, companies and media outlets are in Mastodon. A lot of artists are moving to BlueSky.
use mastadon or nostr, they are actually decentralized. Bluesky is just twitter 2.0 with the same broken incentives and the same broken business model.
Competition is great and all, but Mastodon already exists.
Yeah honestly, let's have competition between Mastodon servers instead. My current favorite is dice.camp for tabletop fans.
Hmu if anyone has a code ^^ EDIT: got a code, thank you
I've been looking for a code too. Signed up for the waitlist months ago and nothing. Anyone got a code?
I am waiting for the day when I finally have a code to access bluesky.
I'd love one too if possible, thanks!
Me too, many thanks
Would be very grateful!
