That's wild!

Also, what's bluesky? Any good? Worth signing up just to see it??

You know how Apple has their own charger, their own messaging app, and some other stuff just so that they are different? Because fuck the rest of us, I guess? That's bluesky, relative to fedi space.

I'm on bluesky. It got most of the twitter people I followed for humor. The protocol supposedly allows (will allow?) other servers, but for now I think it's mostly the one. I prefer mastodon governance/structure, but bluesky has a bunch of people I want to read.

Future garbage. Just like most tech bro social.

It's a python library for controlling experimental hardware and managing experiment data and metadata at large scale research facilities such as synchrotrons, free-electron lasers, and neutron sources. It's pretty great, but there's no need to sign up to anything.

It's like Twitter, but self-righteous rather than filled with Nazi screed. Still run by the old Twitter founder tho. So...

🤷‍♂️

To each their own.

Blue Sky: What Twitter wanted to be.

Mastodon: What Twitter was suppose to be.

Threads: Zuckerberg is watching you post cats.

In May, Dorsey said he was no longer with BlueSky.

Nostr, another federated social media protocol, kind of like ActivityPub (which we're using right now), but different.
