Didn't @Jack quit Twitter right after Elon bought it?

He did quit (this is an old meme), but things haven’t gotten better.

JWZ » "I prefer to meet people where they are" says reasonable-sounding white dude holding court at a table in the back of a Nazi Bar.

It's Bluesky. The Nazi Bar is Bluesky.

"Now that Dorsey has bailed as a board member and principal funder, Bluesky's DNA is basically [TESCREAL / Effective Altruist] people. It gets worse. Blockchain Capital LLC was co-founded by Steve Bannon pal Brock Pierce, a major crypto advocate, perennial presidential candidate, and close friend of Eric Adams. Pierce has dozens of other shady MAGA/Russia ties as well."

Ugh. This should be more widely known

What disgruntled them this time that didn't disgruntle them in the previous 2 years? It went to shit as soon as Elon bought it. Were they just ignoring the red flags for 2 years straight?

When he started pushing his own tweets and Republican influencers to the top of my feed I quit the same day

[-] Mihies@programming.dev 2 points 2 days ago

Bluesky is truth social for the other side of the spectrum. Quite happy both sides are leaving mastodon alone.

[-] ms_lane@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

truth social

What does that even mean?

The "complicated" Fediverse signup process is actually the perfect filter. If someone isn't willing to learn such a trivial process to gain access to an open decentralized discussion platform, then they really only have themselves to blame when they keep ending up in enshittified algorithmically-manipulated echo chambers.

I like how people just chose to believe the "trust me bro" attitude from bluesky's leadership on web3.0 monetization when their investors quite literally have a track record of doing so. We've collectively learned nothing for the past 3 decades.

Honestly never thought I'd live long enough to see Idiocracy become a documentary.
