If you've been sitting on making a post about your favorite instance, this could be a good opportunity to do so.
Going by our registration applications, a lot of people are learning about the fediverse for the first time and they're excited about the idea. I've really enjoyed reading through them :)
Bluesky will be the next Twitter. Just give it some time

thats how its creator feels too.
And here’s how and why it will be enshitified:

Exactly! All a person has to do is to look around - the right buys up all popular media platforms and converts them to propaganda outlets.

I signed up today. I never liked Twitter but I will give it a try. Steam (PC gaming platform) is a member so that's a plus for me.
mastodon is already the next twitter, bluesky is just a direct copy of it with nothing keeping it from going the same way. mastodon is open source (can't be corpoed), federated (can talk to other platforms/instances so being on a small one doesn't hurt anything), and most importantly, uses a protocol that doesn't make self-hosting impossible due to storage requirements.
And is comprised entirely of no one I care to follow, awesome.
Why bluesky instead of mastodon? It's like saying lemmy.world is going to replace reddit instead of the Lemmy platform.
Are you just commenting how the people who use something like twitter are eager to be herded like sheep into the next walled garden?
Are you part of the bluesky viral marketing campaign to make it artificially seem like it's "already won"?
Because there is only so much oxygen in the room, and corporate ventures like Bluesky seem to come into really exciting DIY community spaces that are creating amazing things and pull the oxygen out of the room while never quite delivering on what they are promising... or seeming to promise... and in the mean time the projects that originally created the innovative energy in the space are lost in the noise.
I mean... see basically the entire early history of the commercialization of personal computers for endless repetitions of this pattern.
Remember we are not the customers of corporate social media companies, we are the raw husks they extract value from through surveillance capitalism and ads/paid content.
When I said bluesky will be the next Twitter did I said Twitter is a good place. Twitter is now bullshit.
I’m wondering this too People are hyped about bluesky but it is the same corpo bullshit that Twitter is. I mean it is literally by the same dude. Why fold?,
Bizarre that you and that other guy thought "will become the next Twitter" was some sort of praise. It's not.
I think it's more bizarre that you think "same corpo bullshit that Twitter is" is some kind of praise.
If you don't agree with the person above you, maybe don't start your comment with
Accusing people of being shills for commenting that bluesky is going to become (shitty) like twitter is out of pocket.
Didnt Dorsey already walk from it and gave the reason that it is headed the same way twitter is. Bluesky is being pushed by capitalists because it is a for profit company just like twitter and facebook.
There is another interpretation. Calm down.
Err.. what?
Care to explain what that 'other interpretation' is?
You are taking "replace Twitter" as an endorsement, when in reality it was intended as a condemnation.
