Bluesky is not great, but it’s at least (for now) a better platform than X and the AT protocol is actually very well written. (For instance having a moderation service separated from the service that provides the posts I think is a hands-down better way to handle it than most ActivityPub servers having their admins handle all incoming and outgoing moderation)

Bluesky federation is just now getting started so it’ll be interesting to see if it goes anywhere/where it goes.

Why does everyone suddenly forget BSky was created by Jack Dorsey?

It’s going to be another Twitter. Bring everyone in, AI scrape all the data, then sell when the climate moves too far in one direction.

Or is this like the Great Reddit Exodus, that lasted maybe a month?

The CEO of Bluesky just posted they hit 17M users today after hitting 16M in the last 24 hours.

The juice is juicin’.

I hope some of them come to the Fediverse. It’s nice that only the curious ones will come.

Anything which drives nails into the xitter coffin is a good thing as far as I’m concerned. Bluesky may not tick many people’s boxes here on lemmy, but this migration shows that lots of people wanted to leave xitter but didn’t see an option. Threads clearly didn’t attract them, likely due to the owner. I hope it nothing else, Bluesky is a less toxic place and xitter and musk become less relevant. In the long run Bluesky may end up being another head of the hydra , but for now, it’s not, and it may get people used to the idea of federation.

quite the opposite for me. bluesky is a centralized platform owned by capital exactly like twitter, thus prone to the same issues.

migrating to bluesky instead of mastodon will just delay the problem.

I think this time it actually has some teeth to it, even big famous artists like Lack are on blue sky now, my feed is looking pretty good daily now where before I had to wait a few days before checking it out.

Whhhhhhy?

This is the same thing. This is the exact same type of platform that will eventually go the same way. This is shooting yourself in the foot once, then aiming the shotgun at the other foot and pulling the trigger thinking that the bullet was a fluke the first time.

OP has posted (and re-posted) about Bluesky about 40 times in the last 48 hours. I’m down voting every single one. Quit shilling for billionaires.

I’m really enjoying Bluesky strangely enough, not normally my thing.

Shame that it’s another Capital-owned platform taking the spotlight. I’m not surprised unfortunately. We’ll be in the same place we are now in 10 years.

I’m preaching to the choir, but mastodon is the better platform if you want more authentic community and conversation.

If it was owned by the community that moderated it, then yes. But no it’s owned by another rich asshole.

The wrong migration to IMHO…

Someone has to do a mastodon instance called Bluesky

is also decentralized and is federated, meaning it is moving toward a future where users “own” their audiences and can port them elsewhere (you can, and many do, argue about the details here, and about the differences between ActivityPub, which Mastodon uses, and the AT Protocol, which Bluesky uses).

Best coverage yet for that alone
