Luckily, in my personal experience, I rarely hear anyone mention Bluesky’s supposed decentralization features. So hopefully there aren’t too many people that are falling for it.
However, the fact that so many people are signing up for what amounts to Twitter 2.0 is troubling in its own right.
we - the techies and early adopters - failed the general public. all they wanted was a micro-website and comms platform; publish their shit, talk to other people. stuff that’s easily accomplished with 20-year old software.
but, not so easily for them. setting up a self-hosted micro-blog/comms platform is as cumbersome and inelegant as it was decades ago and no progress was made to make this any better, it only got worse. so these fucks stepped in and took over.
we got only ourselves to blame.
I’m starting to think the CEO going all “We OWN you, what are gonna do, LEAVE?” was a bad sign?
When did the CEO do that?
Oh yeah, I remember that happening, just not her saying that specifically.
