Anyone who still uses Twitter either condones what Musk has done and is doing, or is completely oblivious.
I long for the day it dies the death it deserves and Musk is left holding the bag having to pay all the debt. If only he’d be forced to do that, but like all rich assholes, he’ll get out of it somehow.
Like Reddit, the only reason I’m still on Twitter from time to time is niche hobbies that don’t have critical mass on the fediverse yet.
You could try starting those niche communities here instead of giving free content for Spez to monetize.
Presumably by declaring bankruptcy, like his new daddy
who knew that removing the block feature and “Twitter’s new ToS says all disputes will be heard in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas located in Tarrant County (Tesla investor Reed O’Connor’s court)” were not going to be winners among the remaining userbase
Definitely not mr boy "genius" elon.
changing how its “block” button works. That option previously allowed users to hide their profile from certain accounts – but will no longer do so.
So I guess all that stuff they did to lock down the ability to see things on Xitter without an account was strictly for evil then
Lol, good that you pointed it out. The only real way is apparently only self hosting foss
i think everything everywhere in the internet will be put to training AI at this point. Lemmy and other FOSS will be used too, but at least our data is public and accessible to everyone equally (including to some FOSS AI that i hope emerges).
Anyway.
Well it’s “allegedly” decentralized, which should solve this by design…
@hedge @moon Bluesky has got only one central component, the directory. The web interface at bsky.app is only one of multiple web interfaces. The data itself is hosted in several distributed personal data servers and you can setup and host your own as well.
This "Bluesky is offline" message is similar to some "Mastodon is offline", when only mastodon.social is offline and all other servers are running.
NOSTR Y’ALL !!
oh yah nostr still exists.
i stopped using it when all of my shitcoin filters did nothing.
oh it’s getting good
ActivityPub ye!
Yeah, I love drowning in a sea of Nazis, Pedophiles, and Crypto bros with no redeemable content.
WTH is bluesky?
Twitter 2
Lemmy should be advertised as Twitter alternative. Lol bluesky sounds like a beverage company.

Hope some of them go to Mastadon.

I know Imani Gandy is now posting on mastodon. She had an enormous following on Twitter.

Yeah it really actually only takes a couple of big users moving to Mastodon to cause a domino effect of a mass migration. I hope more people with tons of followers start moving over.

Does Mastodon have the blocking features that Bluesky has (like lists, blocks stopping quote reply chains, etc)?
Other than on Blahaj, I’ve never found a place more chill to be queer online once you apply a couple of well maintained block lists.

If you need the feature set of Bluesky and Mastodon, please also follow fed.brid.gy if you can. This will allow Mastodon users to follow you from the Fediverse.

If they don’t, please also follow Brid.gy so your BlueSky account is federated to Mastodon. If you move to Threads, please turn on Fediverse integration.
It’s so frustrating, between Mastodon, Bluesky and Threads almost every person I used to follow on Twitter exists somewhere else. But only about half of them are accessible in any one platform.
