Lol, Blusky fan boys are quite active today. I'm sure this millionnaire's toy will be better than the previous one, good luck.

The way I look at it, I know it's probably going to end up being shit in the end, but it'll be a few years until that happens, and it will be fun in the meantime.

Just because you know I'll have to leave at some point doesn't mean that you don't enjoy the party while it lasts

And then what? You'll move to Truth social? Then Thread? And then to X2? Meanwhile there's a decentralize alternative that gives back the control to users, you're welcome to join.

I don't think it'd have to be either or. People can join both or just one it doesn't really matter, If it ends up being another dumpster fire then people will move off just like they did X.

Most people will go where most of the people are going and that's blue sky not Mastodon.

I disagree. People that didn't left twitter when Musk took over are like people who didn't vote in the US election: enablers. In my opinion, if you accept to take part in the nazi shithole that X is, you are in the end validating it's existence.

What are you disagreeing with exactly because I didn't say anything about X.

I'm taking about Mastodon versus bluesky

[–] Yerbouti@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 days ago

I think joining bluesky is validating another for-profit business that will do anything to profit from it's userbase. Like facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Titktok, etc. the ONLY goal of capitalist business is to generate profit, so they will throw you under the bus the very second they think they can make more money by doing do. But yeah, you're free to join bluesky until it becomes so shitty that you'll want to join the shinny new capitalist alternative, created by the exact same people lol.
