I guess I’m glad I was never a big Twat, so Bluesky wasn’t a place of refuge for me the way Lemmy was when Reddit went off the rails.

Bsky enhittified the day it was formed.
The problem: Twitter is being centrally controlled, by one large corporation which can be corrupted.
The solution: A new “company” with a “trusted board” instead of investors!
Bsky is slowly becoming twitter because someone who thinks like businessman can’t comprehend running a project without a company and a “trusted board” behind it, with capital from elsewhere fueling the whole thing. Jack Dorsey probably had good intentions, but he’s just too near sighted (or not the right person) to create a viable alternative disconnected from the business minded framework a true open decentralized twitter replacement needed.
It’s basically just Twitter in the early days, way before the Musk takeover. It will follow the same path eventually, as all VC funded tech
That’s the thing, like it’s just twitter with a different logo. Does nothing different, still has questionable ties to questionable people, monetization in its short term future. It’s basically a Twitter clone.
People forget that Twitter turned to shit long before musk showed up. They were the ones who refused to enforce their own TOS for trump for years.
i stopped using twitter around 2013 after adopting it in 2007. i deleted my account entirely when it sold
I used it in 2011, because I was trying to make sense of what the hell even is this? It made no sense to me. Stopped using it until 2014, when I made my second ever post, and then stopped using it again until 2018 when a professional athlete that I happen to share the same name with tried intimidating me off my handle. That didn’t work (how you approach people matters!). But I still never used it.
