Yeah, I'm surprised how many go to Bluesky. It's just Twitter all over again, controlled by a single company.

What is the social media name of clown Zuck? I feel old

[-] dessalines@lemmy.ml 6 points 3 weeks ago

Threads.

Also instagram should be shown there too as its owned by facebook.

It wasn't the "controlled by a single company" part that made me leave Twitter, honestly. It was the Nazi CEO...

[-] sakuraba@lemmy.ml 22 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

that's the best part, just as twitter was sold to a nazi bluesky can be sold to a nazi too!

that's what can happen when it is controlled by a single company

Then we'll leave Bluesky too. 🤷

[-] bufalo1973@piefed.social 17 points 3 weeks ago

And fly to the next private one that will be bought in time by another Nazi?

[-] iamthetot@piefed.ca -4 points 3 weeks ago

If it's a good replacement, maybe. I'll deal with that if it happens. One battle at a time.

[-] sakuraba@lemmy.ml 13 points 3 weeks ago

no need to worry, at that point the new nazi owner already has all the data they got from the platform

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

I'm with you on this one. Can't knock every single product owned by a company assuming all CEOs are Nazis...

But a big red flag is when a company sells itself to a billionaire, or goes public on the stock market. That's when we should start to worry.

The thing that make them move to Bluesky, its Elon, not the federation (Which is a shame tbh)

[-] fubbernuckin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 3 weeks ago

I think they do actually want Twitter again though. Admittedly, what Twitter used to be was still much better than what it is now.

[-] cabbage@piefed.social 1 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, they are looking for "early twitter", without reflecting too much on why "early twitter" that they loved turned into what it is today. I think many are forgetting that it took a turn for the worse long before Musk bought it.
