Bluesky is so obviously trying to commercialize what we already have in the #fedi.

If you self-host your instance (increasingly cheaper and user-friendly proposition), you gain full and complete control over your presence, data, and moderation, with no intermediary. Or you can join one of the many affinity-based instances if you don't want to deal with the admin work. Either way, you might pay a few of dollars a month.

Watch #Bluesky repeat the same cycle as Twitter—centralization, commercialization and failure all over again.

#fediverse

 

I missed my 15 year anniversary on the #fediverse! I first got on identi.ca in May 2009, then after an unfortunate twitter detour, got back on the right track in 2018, when I became active on aktivix's now defunct instance indy.im.

One day I will find a way to migrate that worthwhile content here.
