    The great thing about BlueSky is how under-the-radar its flown for the last few years. Virtually no advertising. No legions of bot accounts spamming with invites and generic attention baiting posts. No |>u33y N |3io blowing up my mentions. No enshittification, because its just a primitive clone of the original Bird Site.

    The more popular it gets, the less likely that’ll last. BlueSky won’t defeat Twitter until it becomes Twitter.

      It will almost certainly become Twitter as it was created by the Twitter founder. The only difference being that it will become the Twitter from before Musk took over. Which is a massive difference.

        The only difference being that it will become the Twitter from before Musk took over.

        Dorsey is just as emotionally stunted and socially reactionary as Musk. He simply isn’t as wealthy.

        BlueSky has thrived not because Dorsey crafted it into a purer vision, but because he’s neglected it and allowed the user base to have their way.
