Ah, glad to see we’re trading the platform that Jack Dorsey previously sold to a fascist for an obscene sum of money for the platform that Jack Dorsey hasn’t yet sold to a fascist for an obscene sum of money.
I’m so deeply disappointed that Mastadon isn’t taking a larger share of traffic.
Dorsey sold it to the public, and Musk bought it from the public.
Eugen has admitted, in some ways, that he’s introverted and perhaps didn’t have the skills to create the publicity needed to have it grab general public attention. While I have concerns that the new non-profit will become a Mozilla type entity with too much overhead, hopefully some useful overhead can be put into better marketing the product.
I’m fine with it. We don’t need to be the most popular, we just need to be there consistently.
People continue to come over slowly and then they keep engaging. It’s not fizzing out so it’s been very nice.
I dint care how big we are but its still very disheartening how much critical thinking skills people lack.
Do they really believe it will be better or do they just not care?
It’s just more convenient it seems to not care about instances
Not for everyone. And so for now, I’m confident in the growth of the fediverse in many directions. I’ve been advocating for the Fediverse since I left reddit, after 12 years, because Meta products had become so toxic. I’ve had more people than ever before ask me about Pixelfed last week, two of them, IG refugees. Oh and one who’d been on before, and returned to Pixelfed. THREE!!!
It’s got George Takei. What more do we need?
Should note that Jack Dorsey is not part of Bluesky anymore. He left a little while ago
Did he fully divest any decision making powe and financial interests? Or just the decision making power?
At least it will be really funny if Bluesky just becomes the new Twitter and Musk’s 55B loses most of its value
Thats what I bet will happen. Elon is the “fellow kids” meme in a nutshell. He bought an entire platform to look cool, only to make the platform itself stale and broken. I feel bad for the employees that will have that on their resume (or laid off) but what can you do?
At least blue sky has the bridge. It kinda works. I will still be using mastodon/Gotosocial but to others they can use whatever platform they want to talk to me. Including family.
