@mgorny@social.treehouse.systemsA general (shitty) comment on BlueSky
A few days ago I've seen something comparing ex-Twinnera to a privy, and praising #BlueSky.
My dear, don't you see the irony? The way I see it, you've just moved from one of Jack Dorsey's privies into another, after he let Elon and his friends shit in the middle of the floor to get some money from them. And now you're delighted, because obviously the same thing won't happen again.

Mastodon's the right model. But to be truly *useful* politcally - the Bluesky/Mastodonian idea of "we will make our safe space over here" might be pleasant for many and that's fine
But they're not healthy for useful political discourse, which is often ugly, but generates the necessary talk.

@servelan@newsie.social"No quarter, no mercy for our enemies," said Hegseth.

@thomasfuchs@hachyderm.ioAnd this is working, but it's slow progress.
Mastodon in particular has UX problems that will be very hard to overcome that prevent mass adoption, foremost is that actual conversations (aka replies) are unreliable and slow due to the way posts are distributed. Quote post support was a huge first step to remedy this. I hope we'll see more updates on it.
Bluesky got a big chunk of former Twitter users, especially in some niches like for scientists and activists; they have great performance, reliable threading and replies and really amazing featuers like fully custom feeds—but suffer from intransparent moderation and frankly insufferable leadership (still leagues better than Twitter or Facebook though).
