Oh, I've read Cwayed. Interesting style.

Oh no, there's no money or profit motive here. I guess that's terrible.

Looks like there's a viable alternative here.

While I understand that, I'm in America. My first priority has to be getting people off of Twitter.

Would I prefer open source, non-profit software? 100%. It's the smarter and better choice for so many reasons.

But if Bluesky is going to gain critical mass, I'm not going to fight it. I'm having a hard enough time getting people off Twitter. I've written the media address of environments I'm familiar with asking them to organize a move, and I mentioned both Bluesky and Mastodon.

And we should just accept that?

You have nothing to hide. Just sign away all your rights.

I get that you're using AI directly related to your point, but it's still a lot of shitty AI spam.

Use it for your own research, but don't foist that on us.

The other difference is that promoting more and more obscure, useless shit ruins your credibility for when you're trying to get them to Lemmy or Signal or Mastodon.

Signal is an absolutely fine product and doesn't need to be decentralized right now.

I know the rest of them, but not that one.

Maybe. But it's probably more important to start with Lemmy than which app to use.

Their rationale was that SMS is not secure and having something not secure on their app was damaging.

Yeah, I don't mind Pixelfed getting attention at all. It's just that I don't trust Forbes, and this article seems to want to muddy the waters.
