I just facepalm internally whenever I see someone recommending bluesky on the fediverse.
I know I should stop holding them to a higher standard, but still.
Yeah, but it has a good UI and isn't a massive echo chamber so what cha gonna do?
Normies just get screeched at by tankies and nerds and leave 🤷♂️
lol, how is it not a massive echo chamber when that has been the constant complaint in countless articles that keep getting made fun of instead of being taken seriously on Bluesky.
Because the most common people complaining about Bluesky fall into 1 of 2 groups:
People upset that Bluesky isn't tolerating their behavior (mostly Nazis and transphobes angry about the community not letting it become Truth Social 2 or allowing transphobes to harass users, but also certain leftist groups, much like the tankies here on Lemmy)
People upset that the infrastructure isn't FOSS or some similar complaint about it not being enough (purity test behavior like in every comment section on Lemmy)
And people saying that Bluesky is an echo chamber tend to fall very heavily into group 1.
