Sure it is. Will believe it when I see it. Too many people are far too happy to ignore the Nazi and suck at his teet.
I’ve been using Bluesky. It has gotten a lot busier since Musk did the Nazi Salute
Yeah, the issue with Bluesky is that it’s just shifting the problem from one oligarch-owned service to another. Mastodon would have been a much better choice, but Bluesky had an algorithmic feed like Xitter so that’s what people flocked to.
The algorithmic feed and the low barrier to entry, including UX familiarity.
Aside from the headache of understanding what instances are and choosing one, and finding a decent mobile client, a lot of people care about unique usernames - especially those in the business/professional sphere.
I see their point, when
@trustedname@genuine-instancecan have all their effort and goodwill destroyed in a day by@trustedname@malicious-instance. While the Verification option exists, more needs to be done in ActivityPub and client developer guidelines to prevent or intuitively mitigate this kind of impersonation. But mentioning such shortcomings get sneered at or waved away, which keeps serious well-meaning people away.Why would they go through that hassle when Bluesky’s shortcomings are ideological and potential future direction?
Blocking and muting, detaching your post from quote posts, and hiding replies all make Bluesky a much saner place.
I know way too many people who only used Twitter for sports. But after /r/nfl and /r/nba and all the sports subreddits blocked Twitter, I think a lot of the organic sports activity will die off.
More and more sports content is popping up on BlueSky.
That’s the sick part, so long as Elmo doesn’t affect there lives, they just see it as “entertainment.”
It doesn’t matter. He doesn’t care. He got Trump into the office. His investement already paid off.
People finally leaving Twitter en masse?
Great, glad ya’ll finally got the memo.
Anyway, Elon and his cronies have haphazardly taken over basically every single civillian Federal Government computer system, while everyone was struggling with the extreme potential inconvenience of not using a social media platform run by and for fucking Nazis.
Priorities, amirite?
Twitter is alive and well with the users they are intending to reach.
And the bots they need to pump those numbers.
It’s kind of fine if it becomes just another Truth social though, isn’t it? Kind of a containment zone. The big problem is if it’s the one place where everyone is.
It’s good to have competition anyway. Twitter was getting too popular. There should be lots of options. Even if some of those options cater to a specific crowd. MAGAs, teens, people who think Tiananmen Square is just a geographical location.
I referenced the guy who stood in front of the tanks the day after the Tiananmen Square incident on Lemmy the other day. Then I went to bed. When I woke up, I had a reply from a guy saying it was fake.
I was just waking up. I thought it was some young kid who was claiming the tank guy was AI images or something. Which would be bullshit.
But no. As I woke up, and clicked the link he provided, it turned out to be a 45 minute youtube video claiming the Tiananmen Square massacre never happened.
I only saw maybe 30 seconds of the video before turning it off.
The first thing he says is something to the effect of “Now just because there’s videos, and photos, and witness accounts of the Tiananmen Square massacre happening, doesn’t mean it actually DID happen!”
Instantly closed the tab. Oh, it’s one of THOSE people.
I innitially thought he was trying to say tank man was a conspiracy or something. No, he was saying the entire incident NEVER happened, despite mountains of evidence it did.
Welcome to China!!! It’s not just that singular incident either, but that’s definitely the go-to. I just can’t trust anything or anyone not willing to accept their faults. These are things we learn from. If we forget them, we get Nazis! Or whatever the Chinese equivalent of them is, the CCP?
Is it dead like Reddit?
Reddit has lots of “activity”, from many different “accounts”, saying lots of “different” things. [wink]
I wanted reddits IPO to bust soooo bad
X-odus has ring to it. It might just catch on.
If Twitter fails and no one cares is the crying real?
Do the Qweeters get a whole year’s salary?
