    I switched to Bluesky a few weeks ago and it’s so much better than Twitter. It’s a smaller number of people but the vibe is generally positive (plus half the posts aren’t ads).
    Honestly it feels like Twitter did 10 years ago.

      I’m skeptical that that vibe will survive open registration, much less the planned federation model, but I’d be happy to be surprised. As it stands, it looks like just another billionaire-generation wealth extraction vehicle.

        Yeah I think Mastodon is a more future-proof alternative but the lack of any kind of algorithm and tiny userbase is a big problem.
        I’m sure Bluesky will get a bit shittier over time but at least it’s not being run into the ground by a megalomaniac like Musk.

          Fingers crossed. And yeah, I relate to the lack of algorithm. Really, just a “sort by most boosted+favourited in the last 24h/1w/1m” would be fantastic, no need to promote posts I didn’t subscribe to.

          What does Bluesky’s active user population look like these days?

          I do hope bsky works out. If it maintains open access, I expect it’ll interoperate with ActivityPub just fine after a while through proxies and gateways. It’s not like Facebook or w/e where they’ll defend the moat with their lives.
