Does anyone actually say this though? I don’t think anyone who joined Bluesky did so for federation - they joined because it’s not Twitter.
Yeah there’s this really weird group of people on Lemmy who are obsessed with thinking Twitter and blue sky are the exact same thing. I don’t know if it’s because they don’t get why people switch to Blue Sky or if they’re trying to purposely downplay the Nazi stuff on Twitter. I really can’t decide. Strongly leaning toward the latter.
You are on the Fediverse, a community centered primarily around free, open source, federated software watching every normie on the internet abandon one corpo playpen for another corpo playpen. Of course we’re upset about it.
I think Bluesky is currently better than twitter, I have absolutely no faith that it will remain that way.
This is exactly what I’m fucking talking about. Somehow hand waving away the fact that Twitter’s literally run by a Nazi promoting Nazi ideology. That’s not the same fucking thing as Blue Sky. To say so is bizarre. To play down that difference is bizarre. To act like it’s inevitably going to end up in the exact same place is bizarre.
I joined because it lets me use my domain as my username without having to host an instance.
