  bluesky is federated and decentralised too… i don’t understand why people are having problems with it? maybe they just don’t know?

  The Twitter user base must be burned by, then kill 2 platforms before they can truly understand and ascend.

  What happened to threads? I thought that was going to kill Twitter

    I assumed people don’t trust Meta compared to Bluesky.

    It’s predictably massive

    Between threads and blue sky, the non-cultists are leaving in droves.

    I wonder how much the two cult sites fight over the same users.

    It’s owned by facebook, it’s irrelevant.

    It basically exists for brands to advertise and avoids things like actual news. User counts are way overinflated. Heard multiple people say their algorithm is garbage.

      their algorithm is garbage

      Can confirm. It’s engagement bait at its worst

  I don’t really under the hate towards BlueSky, did they do something really unacceptable that I am missing out on?

    The idea is that these social media sites always become monopolies. That occurs because no one can communicate with each other across platforms, which eventually leads to a majority of users migrating to a single platform over time. Once that happens, the social media group no longer has to try and the media site enshittifies slowly over time. On top of this, the insane amount of users also cripples the centralized system’s ability to self-moderate properly, leading to user-based enshittification as well.

    With federated social media, that barrier doesn’t exist, and, in theory, the subsequent conglomeration of users doesn’t happen. Additionally, federated instances can be self-hosted and sport much smaller userbases which can make self-moderation much simpler.

    The joke in the video is that rather than switching to federated social media like mastodon and lemmy, twitter users chose to go to yet another centralized social media site (which while having a federation protocol, is unlikely to have users utilizing that defederation). Essentially, Billy is abandoning twitter to go to another site which will potentially have the same downward trend as twitter did before.

  Its got faults but it’s currently where the big batch of users seems to be going and since some of my interests are pretty narrow that means a lot more to read and see in those interests (or it exists at all). That’s kinda hard to ignore tbh. Its not right wing infested and I’ve already got elon, musk, trump and a bunch of other stuff auto filtered.
