Whats wrong with bluesky? I hear this general sentiment about it but have never even looked at it.
I believe, people are mostly annoyed that Bluesky started yet another (half-baked) standard, rather than throwing their weight behind ActivityPub.
This would be fine, if they were decidedly a for-profit company, but their whole branding is that they want to benefit humanity.
It's also weird that the former CEO of Twitter is involved.
The guy could have pushed Twitter into that direction, but apparently, he needed a separate project to have this change of heart.
Like, I don't know, they've got some things that look alright:
But yeah, I'm still worried, it ends up being a bait-and-switch. Make it all look good for now and once enough users have signed up, slowly transition to just becoming yet another Twitter.
aaah ok yeah that makes sense.
Also, I love that I was downvoted for even asking why I should hate another website instead of blindly hating it. Never change reddit 1.3
No its betterthanreddit.com
Nailed it
They also have Paul Frazee, who is the Beaker Browser dude and one of the Secure Scuttlebutt dudes. And also whyrusleeping, one of the IPFS dudes. So if they manage to enshittify it won't be because they forgot to hire enough "Wizard Utopians" with decentralization experience.
It's run by Jack. The same Jack, founder of Twitter that was at the helm while Twitter went to shit before Musk got it. I know Musk era has been really bad, but it was getting really bad under Jack. I wouldn't trust a social network run by him or Musk or Zuck.
