bluesky has made better choices - the starter packs and user lists are great for new users. They managed to add quote tweets but let the quoted person opt out of dog piles. It looks like they added options for custom algorithms too.

Bluesky will be enshittified but mastodon should be taking notes if they want to pick up people next wave.

The bluesky system is just way better. The local/fed feeds on masto are just wasted.

Bluesky has useful tools. But (almost) all lists were made by the community of Bluesky users. Curation was made by users.

Curation was made by users.

Right, users not corporations make social networks, so the community not for profit corporations should own those social networks.

Can we not all see this as the same old pattern of predatory rent seeking behavior applied to online communities just seasoned with even more jargon and condescending handwaved half explanations?

I think Twitter is so, so awful but used, so the bar is in hell. Most things are an improvement compared to Twitter. And ppl use to praise corporations before communities (if they remember communities at all), so, in this case, Bluesky takes all credit.

What if we’re wrong and BlueSky just gets better? I mean, with some of the corporate trappings of old Twitter, but still user-friendly, big userbases, vibrant subcultures and banning troublemakers?

It will, but it still has that countdown timer over its head.

The future is the fediverse, some yet-to-be-invented non-corporate equivalent, or offline.

I mean even if it repeats “the Twitter mistake” that’d still be another 13-14 years to go. Who knows where short-form social media will be conceptually in that time and whether any competition in the space is even still relevant.

The block lists for various types of assholes are also a marvellous invention. It’s so nice to block all of MAGA at a click
