Is it funny? Sure. Would I like to be on Bluesky? hell no.
But we need everybody off X pronto. No more waiting, no more “well they use it for work”, none of that. And this didn’t help. So.
Get it back up, get the Xitters in there, and let’s hip them to the real Mastodizzle.
Yeah people just seem determined to make terrible choices. I am glad people are finally leaving twitter–but–like–why so late!? Why to Bluesky!?!
But I actually wound up making an account on Bluesky today and followed a few accounts from people I like. I figure at the very least, if they’re able to successfully move once, maybe they’ll be more willing to do it again at some point? Hopefully they come to Mastodon and I can follow them with the account I’ve already had there for years now…
That’s the gist of what I posted here (lacking in the hip street slang). It’d be great to get everyone on to the Fediverse but perhaps it isn’t ready yet (I’m hoping Iceshrimp.net gains traction when it’s done as it has a lot of the features people are looking for) or perhaps the potential users aren’t.
Down again.
Can’t wait for the enshittification of this “decentralized” platform.
People are damaging the reputation of real decentralized fediverse platforms like mastodon and lemmy by adding bluesky into the fediverse even though they aren’t even decentralized to begin with. Funny
You say that like we wouldn’t see similar results if lemmy.world went down.
Rather than acting holier-than-thou about people jumping from a corporate platform to a less corporate platform, we should be happy to see some movement away from corporate enshittification.
Userbases moving like this is like rent lowering gunshots against the corporate walled garden hellscape we keep hurtling towards.
Those are real people too. Bots don’t report issues
