    I don’t think Bluesky is better than any instance on Fediverse, but we need to make changes I guess.

      I really wanna like mastodon more and have tried 3 different instances now (2 niche and one larger instance) but I like the community on bluesky better for my particular niche. It seems to be where a lot of art twitter went when things got shitty over there.

        I saw many artists going to Misskey.io because it’s main instance even English speaking ones until they gone back to twitter, stayed on Misskey or half measures. Then because of EN influx in mainly Japanese server , Misskey.io closed doors to non-Japanese add in fact that Misskey or rather any federated service can’t oblige to European Union protection standard which means they can’t operate in EU officially.
        So I see lots of messages on Misskey about artists making blue sky accounts as well… All depends where they get more views I guess or have people supporting them around.

          It feels like the Twitter from just before Elon when it was still bad but not terrible, I was hoping it would be more like the Twitter from 10+ years ago when it was still reasonable.

          I waited 4 months for my invite, took a look around and went back to Mastodon.

            You’d have to go back 10 years for that, modern discourse is poisoned, and even then things weren’t that rosy back then for all.

                I mean if you wanted anything like what you had 10 years ago you’d have to go back 10 years. I don’t think it’s possible to ever have anything like what it was back again any time soon.

          Old twitter was bad, modern twitter pays to show everyone bigoted propaganda and actively courts Nazis. Mastodon is better, but most don’t want the inconveniences. So yeah blue sky it is

          Yeah but if mastodon itself (the community and content) isn’t better, then it’s a moot point

            Oh get the fuck out of here. All Bluesky has is celebrities and celebrity journalists, big fuckin whoop.

            I’d way rather talk to real human beings instead of the Public Relations Team of a bunch of wankers.

            Sorry, most humans are obsessive about stupid celebrity culture, and that doesn’t mean it’s a better product. It means it’s a more vapid product.

              I’m glad blue sky exists for two reasons:

              1. It will likely contribute to more Elon meltdowns
              2. It acts as a containment zone for celebrity and brand worship that’s marginally less bad than twitter

                Celebrity and brand containment zone is the first good argument I’ve heard to date.

              Settle down dude.

              A big chunk of the comic art people from twitter went there. The art community on Mastodon is very mid. So that’s a big part of why I like Bluesky.

              And while I don’t care about following journalists personally, that’s arguably one of the major things people want out of a twitter-like platform. Breaking news.

              Threads is much worse for celebrity bullshit.
