Is bluesky really eclipsing mastodon? jeeze

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 hour ago

In the near term of course bluesky will, it has hype, it has rich tech people on it, it has 10s of millions of investment it can throw at stuff.

This is not how Mastodon or the Fediverse grows, our growth is real, not based on hyped and marketing. People come and stay here because it is a nice place, not because it is a popular or exciting new hangout spot that all the rich cool people are going to.

See y’all next time everyone gets surprised and upset when their centralized social media gets bought by a conservative sycophant.

Did they not learn a damn thing?

The signup process for mastodon sucks massively. Unless you're nerdy enough to sort it out, you'll give up then and there. Bluesky is very straightforward, while offering customization to those looking for a non-mainstream experience.

Same for Lemmy tbh.

I'm not an expert but I heard languages, religions and cultures has some irrational and hard to imitate rules so that outsiders can't join in or blend easily. Is this similar? Maybe it's an advantage?

You could say Bluesky is... picking up Steam, eh?

Sorry, I have no new or interesting insights to offer, I'd hope most already get what's happening, anyway.

Don't worry about not having any insights, I still valve-ued the pun.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 day ago

It's nice to see other people enjoy the pun. Would be shame for it to be left4dead

I will never not read "bluesky" as "bloo-skee"

[–] pancakes 13 points 22 hours ago

It will always be "bluey-skibidi"

So how can I follow them from Mastodon?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 hours ago

I like the OpenVibe app. That's as close as I've been able to get so far.
