The wrong migration to IMHO…
What a fucking lib take... See you on Mastodon after Dorsey fuck y'all over again
I just moved our D&D account over there.
the great migration to another investor-backed patiently waiting disaster. enjoy it while it's good. if only they used activitypub. Mastodon is just too confusing for the average person, it will never take off. bluesky streamlines everything into being simple and understandable to the average user. I laugh when I see people circle jerking about being better than twitter when in reality it was started by the same people and all it takes is someone with too much money and it'll be another fall-off story.
edit: I say this as someone who uses it, beats using shitter in it's festering decaying state.

You're mistaking motivation for ability. If you understand email, you can understand Mastodon.
You think the average person understands email?
I don't know. Lots of folks pointing out That Part Of Twitter (TPOT) also migrating over.
On Bluesky anyone who really hates TPOT can make a block list that anyone can subscribe to and you never have to think of it again. You can also easily flag accounts to include on the list.
If TPOT moved en masse to Mastodon, across many different instances, how would someone achieve the same thing? My understanding is they don’t have any similar feature. As long as “just block them all individually or hope they all move to one shitty instance you can block” is the solution, it’s going to fail to attract people.

Meaning like the rationalist / effective altruism guys? Would have thought they'd be prone to sticking with Musk

Bluesky is run by the founder of twitter, which took far too long to ban Trump the first time round. I don't know why so many people are giving him another chance to do the same shit again.
EDIT: I stand corrected. Dorsey left.

Now left-wing has their own echo chamber, hurray
do we really want people that waited until now to even think about an alternative to fascists media?
Most smart people left Twitter years ago. Dont make the same mistakes again and again. We can build a better web on the fedi. Heavily EDITED lol.
If you were still on Twitter, please dont join Mastodon, we dont want you.
~~STFU or~~ say you are speaking for yourself. Fedi is for everyone that's the whole point of the exercise.
Yeah that was a bit extreme lol, I deleted it. I am just tired of seeing so many posts that promotes another capitalist solution that will inevitably lead to the same result. Meanwhile the open alternatives are fully working but snubbed by far too many people. We have the power to build a better, more fair web, it just needs more people to get involved.
amen
