Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

So far, it's been better than Twitter for sure, and more functional especially

I mean I'm mainly using it to follow artists though, your use case may be different

Bluesky somehow worst than twitter as its ran by insufferable liberals, and the block feature allows you to mass block people on a single click, so they just shove any "tankies" and Palestanian go fund me into a single big fat community list for people to block, as they do their best to drown out everything. Its Bluesky alright, blue like the sky in the Truman show, as they do everything in their power to try to keep the status quo and pretend everything is fine. Also they're super elitist towards people not using English, moreso than twitter lol

As far as I have seen, it seems to be a bastion of libthink. Lots of lib takes going back and forth and patting themselves on the back over what good people they are. I have seen more leftists remaining on Twitter than migrating over.

Personally I am just sticking to lemmy as a social network of choice.

I haven't had any luck with it yet, I've followed a number of trans people because that's usually how I get into a new network and so far they've all been swapping terrible lib takes, blaming minorities for not voting for kamala and the like. Not sure there's much of a leftist contingent on there.

JWZ » "I prefer to meet people where they are" says reasonable-sounding white dude holding court at a table in the back of a Nazi Bar.

It's Bluesky. The Nazi Bar is Bluesky.

"Now that Dorsey has bailed as a board member and principal funder, Bluesky's DNA is basically [TESCREAL / Effective Altruist] people. It gets worse. Blockchain Capital LLC was co-founded by Steve Bannon pal Brock Pierce, a major crypto advocate, perennial presidential candidate, and close friend of Eric Adams. Pierce has dozens of other shady MAGA/Russia ties as well."

LOLWUT? Run the fuck far away.

Also, Bluesky is not actually decentralized. It's a single big silo, just like Twitter/X. They built their own "decentralization" protocol rather than adopt ActivityPub. It's Embrace, Extend, Extinguish. Same as it ever was.

Is it really EEE though? There isn't the "extend" part if they're not extending ActivityPub, it's just a competitor at that point, unlike Threads which was actually trying to be ActivityPub compatible (and everyone immediately saw right through it)
