Checked it out. Smells like Twitter to me.
No thanks.

The literal elephant in the room is Mastodon, the open source, decentralized social network that’s been around since 2016, years before Bluesky existed. While the platforms share similar goals, they use different protocols, making it difficult for the platforms to work together.
Quick, someone link the xkcd
No edit posts, no deal
No thanks. I will never join that tech bro shit
i olny joined that just to send cursed govia logo images
As a decentralized platform, Bluesky’s code is completely open source,
As long as a company is in control, being decentralized doesn't mean shit.
Why this over Mastodon?
It has some features Id love to see on ActivityPub like account migration between servers, and people are already working on bridges between the protocols so it will basically be able to federate, at least with mastodon. I was also skeptical but if they keep it open source and let it play nice with AP protocall I wont be mad at it. Sure I'd prefer them pushing AP further than doing their own thing but for whatever reason I'm willing to give more benefit of the doubt to them than a service like threads.
Good billionaire owner who sold his stuff to evil one.
Put that descriptor in air finger quotes please: “good “
I thought this was the network for "bright people" ;-) They are really thinking to join.
I posted the same comment without joking a month ago. A more direct one. See its score: https://lemm.ee/comment/7775363
Yeah agreed. In his case though I was referring less to the fact he’s a billionaire (which is actually more relevant than what I was thinking about it) than that I used to think he was one of the “good ones” but then later learned to enough about him (but not much, still) to not be impressed anymore.
The level of hypocrisity at Europe is really beyond limits but the fact that there aren't insane level rich entities in Europe is really something worth bragging about.
It is not just about jack, what annoys me is people with minimum income thinks there are heroic riches who are acting against the order. That is evil PR in action.
User-uploadable custom feeds, which aren't really possible with ActivityPub
Thank you, great feature.
When corporations inevitably arrive to the platform, we can use it to shame them into offering a decent service after they ignore our calls and emails.
Depends on the kinds of accounts you follow. Mastodon is all technical users - so not many celebrities who aren't in technical fields.
that's the reason why I don't use Mastodon. there are a lot of tech and politics related things, and I am not tech savvy
Haven't been following Blue sky stuff at all. Any reason to use this over mastodon?
Celebrities, politicians and businesses will be more likely to show up on the platform, if that's your jam.
Seems like a downside tbh
Ah gotcha. I'm kind of enjoying just hanging with regular people being regular on mastodon. Probably check out bluesky at some point.
Thanks for the info!
As an American you’re supposed to consider yourself a temporarily inconvenienced superstar millionaire, so maybe you should get over to there to hob nob with the rich foke.
Woo another social media to ignore! How long before he sells this one to musk?
