    Can you chill please? Any positive press that are getting people off Twitter is good for society and all of us by vicariously. Imma start replying to everyone do this cuz that is more bothersome to me than seeing Bluesky stuff everywhere. Its having its moment, take a break my dude

      Wow you’re right. I also noticed a flood of these post, and it’s really them posting dozens of times a day about this topic. Time to block OP

  It’s an alternative to Twitter in the same way Pepsi is an alternative to Coke, it’s still essentially the same thing. This is just trading one really shitty corporation for a different not as shitty yet corporation. As it grows it will eventually become the exact same thing and everyone will be back here celebrating the rise of some other corporate social-media network.

    It’s kind of not. It does appear to be at least theoretically possible to self-host any or all of the major components. Unlike ActivityPub projects, however, it doesn’t seem like anybody is doing that and offering services to the public.

      All it takes is a couple investors and that all goes bye-bye.

    Currently it’s like tbr difference between Pepsi, and a soda company which is currently, publicly owned by a madman, trying to poison its customers, and spread Nazi shit and fascism.

    A little wider gap than you’re saying.

    Sure, Pepsi could become that other thing. But it’s not currently.

  Amazing how none of these news outlets gave a flying shit about Blue Sky until this week. 😂

    Yeah too bad they didn’t get into it earlier, but it has hit a critical mass of users and attention lately.

  Wish it was mastodon; this feels like kicking the can down the road rather than actually solving any problems. Whatever, it’s still better than twitter

    I tried my best to like Mastodon, but after a day on bluesky I like it more. Mastodon is fine, but the shitposting is really lacking.

  Psycho can’t keep his/her thumbs away from the poet button. So let’s have a poll: strawpoll.com/7rnzV89aDnO

  I took an look at Bluesky. It’s basically a Left Wing Gab…a shit show.

  I’ve been tempted to give Bluesky another go after it left beta, but apparently you still can’t set up feeds so they all show up in one instead of having to swipe through all of them.

  It felt too much like work keeping up with things, so I gave up.
