People not so much leaving the country as switching their advertising tracker?
Look I’ve bopped around bsky and do enjoy it. Wish Mastodon had picked up the eXodus but bsky isn’t the worst alternative.
Really hoping we get past the point where day old accounts are saying “bluesky is such a BREATH of FRESH AIR”. I would think so too though if I was breathing whatever is coming out of of Twitter up until now…

Oh cool, good job waiting until AFTER the election to do this incredibly basic and easy move, everyone. Jesus fucking christ
Mastodon needs to get shiny and pretty and intuitive. Bluesky is gonna suck eventually because it’s corporate, the Fediverse will only get better.
But it needs to lose the fucking github energy.
Honestly Misskey forks for all their flaws can absolutely take this opportunity to properly advertise themselves as viable alternatives. As someone who uses a Misskey fork, I love the UI in comparison to Mastodon, and the communities in Misskey forks are a lot less techie and a lot more laid back and goofy most of the time from my personal experience.
Sadly, most of English instance use Misskey-fork, which tends to be discontinued after a while…
Not even trying to contribute back to Misskey, especially as they desperately need more English contributor.
Any misskey instance you’d recommend?
Honestly depends, but if you want an all-around good instance on a misskey fork, try lethallava.land
If it’s any consolation I am seeing bridged account for Mastodon over there. I think people will get more exposure to the wider Fedverse while they’re there.
Exist any web with a list of not the main blusky social instance?
Over a million actually by now, and they got above 15 mil total.
Running from one platform backed by people who supported Trump, right into another one. Gotta love controlled opposition and the illusion of choice.
Half of them right wing bots getting ready to do the same thing again.
On one hand that’s a good thing.
On the other hand you had to wait for our government to go fascist to start making the bare minimum of effort so here’s a temporary “Go Fuck Yourself” from those of us that knew enough to leave two years ago.
Maybe Musk won the election, but he might lose Xitter.
People been saying this for years since he took over and nothing changes.
Its kind of hard to say because I don’t think X is giving out reliable numbers about their own monthly active users, so. …
Yeah but I mean I’ve often seen people claim they leave X for something else, only for them to return a couple of weeks or months later again. This seems to happen with every new similar platform that pops up. It’s just like Lemmy being a Reddit alternative, but it seems to forever struggle to take off, and it never quite feels like the amount of engagement you get on Reddit, just because everyone is staying there or returning there anyway.
I think it’s mostly due to alternatives trying to copy the originals, instead of doing something new that could keep people interested longer to build up a bigger community.
Nothing? Im as pessimistic as it gets, but it has provided traction for at least 3 competing decentralized alternatives.
I do think alternatives got traction, but I don’t think any of them are anywhere near actually competing with X though. Perhaps it’s the beginning of becoming a true competitor, but it’s a long ride still.
Ok now link up all the major platforms for the Web Wars Of The 2020s.
Is Bluesky prone to enshittification? I don’t know much about the AT protocol, but it seems like it works relatively similar to ActivityPub. Is it open source?
Enshitification is not about the technologies being used - it happens when the owners make decisions that disrespect the users
I’m 2 of them
