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
Threads.
Also instagram should be shown there too as its owned by facebook.
....and also Whatscrap
Thank you!
It wasn't the "controlled by a single company" part that made me leave Twitter, honestly. It was the Nazi CEO...
that's the best part, just as twitter was sold to a nazi bluesky can be sold to a nazi too!
that's what happens when it is controlled by a single company
Then we'll leave Bluesky too. 🤷
And fly to the next private one that will be bought in time by another Nazi?
If it's a good replacement, maybe. I'll deal with that if it happens. One battle at a time.
no need to worry, at that point the new nazi owner already has all the data they got from the platform
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)
I think they do actually want Twitter again though. Admittedly, what Twitter used to be was still much better than what it is now.
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.
