Say what you want about Mark Zuckerberg being evil (he is) but I find something particularly insidious about BlueSky appealing to the sort of people who complain about Twitter every day but refuse to log out of it, while only eyeing Bluesky because the hero who made Twitter made it too. Implicitly putting their faith in yet another rich Strong Man.
I was so heartbroken once I saw the Mastodon handle of Jack Saint (leftist youtuber), only to the last post of his being "I'm moving to BlueSky". I'm also asked WhiteLeaf (worker coop behind leftist streamers's stuff) if they thought on starting their own Mastodon or other instance.
How has a worker co-op centered around avoiding centralized distribution of content not at least experimented with it yet... Idk seems like a hugely missed opportunity
Nothing was wrong with Twitter under Jack. It was perfect and this will be too!
