Comment on John Oliver promoted alternatives to big tech in last night's episode, including Mastodon and Pixelfed

  Why bluesky instead of mastodon?

  Because there is only so much oxygen in the room, and corporate ventures like Bluesky seem to come into really exciting DIY community spaces that are creating amazing things and pull the oxygen out of the room while never quite delivering on what they are promising… or seeming to promise…

  Remember we are not the customers of corporate social media companies, we are the raw husks they extract value from through surveillance capitalism and ads/paid content.

  When I said bluesky will be the next Twitter did I said Twitter is a good place. Twitter is now bullshit.

      You are taking “replace Twitter” as an appellation, when in reality it was intended as a condemnation.

    Bizarre that you and that other guy thought “will become the next Twitter” was some sort of praise. It’s not.

      I think it’s more bizarre that you think “same corpo bullshit that Twitter is” is some kind of praise.

        If you don’t agree with the person above you, maybe don’t start your comment with

        I’m wondering this too.

        Accusing people of being shills for commenting that bluesky is going to become (shitty) like twitter is out of pocket.

    Didnt Dorsey already walk from it and gave the reason that it is headed the same way twitter is. Bluesky is being pushed by capitalists because it is a for profit company just like twitter and facebook.
