Seriously i have zero idea what is going on with bluesky. I never used it. Why are people saying it's centralised? I also heard that a lot of people are joining it.

Bluesky is a platform by and for the most racist liberals.

[-] socsa@piefed.social 6 points 1 month ago

Unlike Lemmy, which is a platform for the most racist tankies?

[-] TheOubliette@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 month ago

Where is the tankie racism?

[-] hamid@vegantheoryclub.org 5 points 1 month ago

Tankie has no definition to liberals so they can't answer this, it is whatever they feel at the time.

You've clearly not been on the platform for any appreciable length of time, if at all.

[-] TheOubliette@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 month ago

Try criticizing liberal forms of racism and see how well it goes for you.

Try watching sometime merely being Palestinian and see how it goes for them.

Try looking into who funds and runs the platform.

A large portion of my TL on Bluesky is people fundraising for specific Palestinian families. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ You see what you follow

Nothing is wrong with it. It is just much earlier in the timeline of becoming twitter/xitter eventually. Maybe it'll take longer this time, maybe the change will be more subtle.

Or maybe it won't happen at all.

I enjoy it, but I am fully aware that history could repeat itself, and I am ready to pack up and move if/when that time comes. For now, it's big enough that I can follow communities I enjoy being a part of without worrying about the constant influx of racists/fascists.

Those people are of course present, but they're easy to block and move on.

it's microblogging

I never used Twitter personally, only exposed thru osmosis, so a reboot is very underwhelming. Seems perfect for somebody.

My only problem with it is that it's boring. Literally Shower Thoughts: The Website (featuring Politics).

Supposedly there are people you can subscribe to to see some actual news and get away from all those boring text posts, but I can't find them and don't know where to look. I even used one of those websites that subscribe you to groups of people en-masse to help get you started, but that just made things worse. Now my feed is full of opinions from people I've never heard of, know nothing of, and couldn't care less about.

I'm sorry but I just don't understand the appeal of this whole Twitter/Twitter clone thing.

Bluesky, as a user feels like Twitter used to be.

Threads is the most enjoyable, I feel.

Mastodon, I don't get. I've been on it awhile but it's becoming used less and less by me because I don't see content I'm interested in our want to engage with and I don't know how to change it.

Essentially, everyone is on bsky now. News organizations FINALLY decided to leave Twitter and are spinning up their bsky accounts.
