@davidbisset an even bigger issue is that archive.org is not sacred anymore. they are constantly removing things from the wayback machine, to complete the historical scrubbing.
At this point, if you go to #Bluesky just to document bad things happening to that particular social network or to report back to #Mastodon what people on a social network say about people here… I envy the time you have at your disposal.
Everything #tech has an overhyped cycle (usually in the beginning of its introduction to a critical mass but not always).
If you’re reading this on Mastodon then you’ll likely rightly think about #AI#Apple etc.
But also #Mastodon#ActivityPub#WordPress etc also had theirs. Maybe you weren’t around for them. And these (and more) have settled into reasonable realistic expectations. It’s a pattern.
Point? Maybe none. But pointing out overhype maybe is something some don’t bother with.
