Bluesky adds 700,000 new users in a week / A ‘majority' of the new users are from the US, indicating that people are searching for a new platform as an alternative to X. (www.theverge.com)

Going from one shitty capitalist business to another shitty capitalist business.

I think this is the crowd that tried Mastodon and then abandoned it when they realized it required a modicum of effort.

Whatever will they do without algorithms recommending their low effort posts to other users?

This smug attitude is why the fediverse will stay niche. People get jobs from twitter and Bluesky showing their posts to people. Its why im on the platforms as an artist. But sure lets talk shit at everyone who doesnt want to post to the void on mastodon.

Also your feed is chronological by default on bluesky and you can stay chronological and enable some posts from your custom feeds to show in your chronological feed. Best of both worlds

Seriously, I'm so tired of this "we on Mastodon are the Eloi and they on Bluesky are the Morlocks" type bs, that kind of hostility to regular users makes me not want to be on the Fediverse at all.

It’s a problem in the open source community as a whole. People ask for it to be a little easier because they’re not super skilled with tech and then the reaction is “if your so dumb you cant use this then maybe you shouldnt use it” or something to that extent

There's a lot of artists selling stuff on Mastodon but I don't think you can have a job as a mastodon influencer
