Too late, at this point. Mastodon was never going to be the mainstream replacement, at least not anytime soon. Bluesky honestly took too long. Had it opened up first, people would have poured into it. But once they're settled in Threads, that's where they'll stay.
It is profoundly depressing to watch Musk crumble only for the internet to flock mindlessly back to Mark fucking Zuckerberg. Just when I was hopeful we might break away from these established giants...
There was a post yesterday on Bluesky making fun of Google+ that got relatively high on the “What’s Hot” feed. People were really trying to dunk on G+.
The big irony to me is Bsky — like G+ — has been sitting on invite-only for far too long, and it, too, may slowly fade away just like Google+ because of it.
Your exclusive club probably won’t be the next big thing if it stays an exclusive club.
I'm curious to see the overlap between Twitter and Threads users. like how many on Threads never used a twitter-like service before
I dunno, I'm enjoying it.
The depressing part is watching people go from one jackass to another.
I don’t think we’ll ever get away from these weirdos. I think that even if some ‘independent’, small company twitter clone became popular, Zuck would just buy it up. He bought Instagram, Elon bought Twitter, etc etc.
It's probably inevitable that these wealthy goobers will end up controlling whatever social media is popular.
While I agree it sucks remember it's not over til it's over! They want us to feel despair, it helps their plans the less we resist.
