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.
i donno about other social networks but my fedi posts from 15 years ago are still up.
15 years ago, was the early days of twitter, the dying days of myspace, and the point where facebook first became dominant.
You talking about one of those? Because zero chance your myspace are still up.
And facebook/twitter? Ew.
