The collapse of X should've been the movement to get rid of social media, not replace it with another identical platform
...he said on social media...
Okay, so it's a link aggregate, but still.
Why everyone's so happy about BlueSky and Threads though is what pisses me off, and it's that's they are in the safe arms of a corporate daddy.
Submissive little shites.
Decentralized/OSS platforms >>> Multiple competing centralized platforms >>> One single centralized platform
Bluesky and Threads are both bad but having more options than Twitter/X is still a step in the right direction, especially given the direction Musk is taking it in. As much as I like the fediverse (I won't be using either Threads or BlueSky anytime soon), it still has a lot of problems surrounding ease of use. Lemmy, Mastodon, Misskey, etc. would benefit a lot from improving the signup process so that the average user doesn't need to be overwhelmed with picking an instance and understanding how federation works.
