Bluesky Might End Up Defeating Twitter Once and for All

And I'll be right there with Bluesky, it's so much better on every issue, significantly fewer bots, no ads, no premium version, and no AI

99% of my Feed on Bluesky was just people saying they've left Twitter for Bluesky. No amount of suggest less of this helped.

Not best either

Or... or... hear me out... everyone comes to lemmy?

I've started removing trash sites. I blocked twatter and reddit at my router.

Ha ha ha, yeah, sure. Bluesky won't defeat xitter, at best it'll just be the "next thing" once xitter finally finishes getting rid of most of its users, which I guess will take more than 4 years from now.

Why people cannot see that the core problem of twitter is not that it got bought by the asshole billionaire. It's that the asshole billionaire was able to buy it.

Born free 🎵

It should be Mastodon. This is the same shit with a different name

🎼It's gonna be Blue~~~ Ski~~e~s for yo_u~ and I~ 🎶

Twitter facilitated exactly what Elon set out to do with it.

Even if it did, Musk would just buy it.

It needs A) same functionality B) ban all forms of racism, especially Zionism and C) refuse investment from undemocratic nations like GCC or China

Bummer that isn’t mastodon but any inconvenience to musk is appreciated

I just hope federal services (like applying for a passport) don't become Twitter-only after Trump appoints Elon as Secretary of Enshittification.

Countdown until it turns out that everybody associated with any competition to Musk's companies just so happens to be a criminal Trump siccs his DOJ after: 5... 4...

I suspect it will only because every single furry on YouTube seems to be trying to get the entire fandom to move from Twitter to BlueSky. You know we run the internet.

Mastodon

These kind of articles always remind me whenever a new MMORPG launched, and then people claimed it would be the World of Warcraft killer.

Both are terrible

Bluesky is a trap

Please, let's not do this. Lets just enjoy sites that aren't toxic without making them toxic by written articles with headlines like this.

Bluesky funding

As long as it doesn't become Twitter I don't care if it beats it.

Tech journalists never learn anything from history. No Vc-funded social media is good

Soooooooo........what happens whenever X eventually dies? Does Bluesky just defederate, and say "Haha! It is I who has the most audience, therefore I who dictate the industry!"

Hot or not was a thing until friendster was a thing.

Friendster was a thing, until myspace was a thing.

Myspace was a thing until facebook was a thing.

We've seen this line of ups and downs before. Eventually Twitter will be replaced. And then the new thing will be around. As of right now, Bluesky is "federated", but it REALLY feels like they don't want to be. Drop of a hat, and they're defederated. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't see it.

I want you to imagine signing up for a service that has extroplatratinated defubulinators. And everybody on the service is taking full advantage of it. But you haven't signed up yet, so your defubulinator needs to be created and calibrated before you can gain anything from it. Now imagine if you had no idea what extroplatratinated defubulinators even were, and you weren't being given any indication what they do, or how to use them. Imagine you had no idea what I was even talking about. And imagine what you would do if search engines wouldn't help you figure it out. But here I am, ranting and raving about how much better it is for you than traditional methods. But you couldn't find ANYONE who used it, or knew what I was talking about either.

So now you just keep living life. Never again taking what I said serious.

Twitter disappears when racism ends. Twitter will stay the cesspool it is.
