Memes about the Fediverse

I mean have they seen how good Ice Cubes and Mlem look? How can they choose the default Twitter and Reddit apps over those masterpieces.
Lemmy doesn't have much to offer compared to the "billionaire run" social media.
The fediverse is like a cafe with an unusual menu and interesting conversations. Most social media is like a McDonald's in Altoona PA.

No, they haven't. 99% of people have never heard of the fediverse or any app within it.
People here are so out of touch here; it's super interesting
In a way, it's a good sign. The threadiverse is tight-knit and comprehensive enough to become people's primary social site. I've never seen any other reddit alternative get to this point.
Which one is Ice Cubes? First time I hear about it
It is an IOS client for mastodon that uses a glassy design aesthetic.
Ah, make sense!
Yeah, a lot of people have quit Twitter over Musk being a huge douche and migrated to... Blusky. And they think they've done something really great. It's sad.
Mastodon is not a twitter clone.
Bluesky is a twitter clone, without musk. That's all these people want. They've never heard about the fediverse. They're not protesting corporate centralism.
They just don't like twitter being a right wing agenda. They want a twitter experience circa before musk bought it, simply because it was left wing before.
That's bluesky. That's not mastodon.
Bluesky is...fine. Currently, it operates the way that I wish Twitter did. It lets you curate your feed, it shows the feed in chronological order, and finally and most importantly it has a critical mass of users so there is actual content there, rather than every 5th post complaining about how everyone is on another platform or not using Linux.
Really, the only issue I have with it is that it is owned by a corporation. But like Twitter and Reddit, I am willing to abandon it for something else when it gets shittier.
What are your complaints (iiuc) for Bluesky?
Not OP, but the leadership has just shown themselves to be unable to run the platform how users want. They're refusing to ban serial harasser Jesse Singal. Its head of trust and safety banned a bot and its creator because the bot pointed out that they liked a porn post on their work account for 'harassment'. Bear in mind the entire point of Bluesky is for all this info to be public and easily accessible.
To be fair, Twitter is so bad now that Bsky is an improvement.
And Bsky has to appear trustful as they need to attract users.
