minus-squareblue_berry@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up28arrow-down2·9 days agoWhat aren’t they joining Mastodon and Lemmy? Or even Threads?
minus-squarezarkanian@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up15·9 days agoI’ll use Bluesky before I use Threads. I don’t want to get sucked further into the Zuckerborg.
minus-squarenao@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up15·9 days agoMastodon or Lemmy, because you would have to choose an instance and a client. Threads, because why would you?
minus-squarezarkanian@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·9 days agoChoice is a good thing, though.
minus-squarenao@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down1·9 days agoagree, but for some reason many people don’t seem to think that way
minus-squareNadru@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·8 days agoI’ve been stupidly trying to convince them to use Mastodon on the same thread on reddit yesterday. Some prefer the interface, but I guess the real issue is what stopping them from selling it to another Musk like they did with Twitter.
minus-squareJin@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·8 days agoI was on Mastodon, but host or whatever you call it, didn’t like what I said and got banned. Feel like bluesky wouldn’t have that kind of power and control by one person and be more open and popular.
minus-squareBeeDemocracy@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·7 days agoI think it’s the opposite. On Mastadon you can make a new account on a better server ie mods more aligned with you. On bluesky if you make a new account and say a similar bannable thing again you’ll be banned again.
minus-squareJin@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·7 days agoBut people are sensitive, rather not jump server to server because that 😅 something on equal terms like bluesky seems good.

Do not use threads
