I do believe more #mastodon users should use #BlueSky there’s a lot that the team and users in general can learn from those in the #fediverse and clear up misconceptions
@mekkaokereke@supernovae@damonoutlaw For what it’s worth, it seems that folks on Bluesky are becoming more and more excited about decentralization. Which makes me happy. This is absolutely the way social media should go.
But there will be an unavoidable price. And that is communities will need to arise to do the moderating. And these moderators will probably be volunteers.
@supernovae@mekkaokereke@damonoutlaw This is true too, and I’ve noted that. But nevertheless, I’m having more conversations with people about decentralization, where Bluesky says they want to go, and the whole ecosystem that exists outside Bluesky.
Less people are hostile now than they were a few weeks ago.
@supernovae@mekkaokereke@damonoutlaw Yep, and the problem is that some people became religious about certain cultural practices, and that ended up with the HOA aspect Mekka alludes to.
For 8 years, Mastodon (mostly) had a culture that created a safe haven for certain marginalized groups.
Then in November 2022, that culture tried to enforce the rules and they suddenly no longer applied.
@darnell@fediversenews That's pretty interesting. I know FediDB removes pawoo. And I don't think joindiaspora.com should be counted. It's reached end of life.
Some people think #Bluesky is “fun”. However, I find it anxiety-inducing and stressful. I’m not the only one who thinks so. A few autistic people say the same thing.
#Calckey seems “fun” to me because I can make it be what I need it to be. For example, it’s nice that I can create antennas devoted to my special interests.
