Before he bought Twitter, Musk remarked, “I hope that even my worst critics remain on Twitter, because that is what free speech means.”

Head over to bluesky. It’s not a shit show.
Can’t. Submitted request to join over a month ago and nothing.
Or sign up to a nice little Mastodon instance and stop promoting centralised social media platforms which can go the same way as Twitter.
I don’t think it’s open yet. Mastodon.social is though!
Is that federated? If no, why not promote Mastodon or Kbin’s microblog, or something else within the Fediverse?
Totally fair comment, but some people like an app and a similar experience to what they’re used to and their is nothing wrong with that.
I disagree. Low-effort users that are just wanting to get a dopamine hit are not helping build something new and valuable.
That’s why you need to point them towards things like bluesky. Send them to what they want.
Haha, fair enough. You were also specifically replying to someone asking about Twitter vs Mastodon, so providing an alternative that isn’t owned by a total shitheel is still better.
I apologize profusely for being snarky on the Internet.
We’re cool!
They’re posting on lemmy… 🙂
No invite sadly. Though I’m not sure it will be any better than Twitter.
careful. BlueSky is headed up by Jack, of Twitter fame, and he’s cut from a similar cloth as Musk.
Jack is on the board but Jay Graber is the ceo. So far they have put tools in to squash alt right trolls, report and cut out nazi’s, misogynists, repost bots, growth hackers, transphobes, anti-LGBTQIA’s, enlightened centrist, reply trolls, and bigot defenders.
They brought in mastodon and activitypub advisors to help them decentralize, and went open source.
But, they are a corporate entity. But they’re trying for now.
