Ah yes anywhere is better than twitter let me go switch to threads.
Jumping from one central controlled platform to another changes absolutely nothing. People switching to Blue sky instead of the fediverse are braindead
Threads and twitter are both worse than bsky. I like Mastodon even more but bsky is at least a departure from open right extremist rhetorics.
I could debate the braindead assertion, but I don't feel like it, and in any case a braindead not-Nazi is a net improvement over a Nazi (which are braindead anyway) or a Neo-Nazi (who do a damn good job at imitating that).
Any changes away from Twitter is a net positive. I don't care where, as long as its not there.
Brb, switching to Truth social
That will increase the number of non-bot users to 2
I am unique on there
I wouldn't mind if they did switch to threads. It would still be a chink in the stranglehold that Twitter has.
Not letting perfect being the enemy of good and all that...
This. Eventually, some billionaire will buy up BlueSky and make it shitty. It's much harder for one person to take over a defederated platform, spread out over hundreds of instances in several countries.
Eventually Earth will be consumed by the sun.
All movement away from Twitter is a positive. Fuck fElon and fuck him right now.
Even if that happens, having switched once, makes sit easier for further switches as needed.
there are a few small AT protocol instances that the billionare would try to get rid of.
Exactly. It's baffles me that most people don't see that
