What's the big difference with Bluesky? How are they going to make money in a few years when they have their userbase without crapping everything up? I don't know much about it.

It isn't owned by an alt right guy, if you are talking about Jack. He has a minor stake, nowhere near ownership, he's just an investor.

BlueSky will become another X in the long-run because it has what alt-right chuds and Nazis want: an audience of libs and leftists to trigger. It’s not as much fun to be in a pure echo chamber compared to (thinking you’re) owning your posting enemies.

This is also part of the reason X will die; once the community becomes less ideologically diverse people will find it less entertaining. Some libs/leftists have a high threshold for tolerating an ambient level of transphobia, white supremacy, and apparently even CSAM, though, so X’s death might be a protracted one.

Because we’ve now seen this movie before, I’m not interested in joining BlueSky. Why build a habit on something fleetingly good when you know exactly how it will develop (badly).

I think it's easy to fall into a mindset of thinking you need to replace X/Twitter. Why does it need to be replaced at all? Maybe the correct thing to do is just lance it off and replace it with grass touching, or reading a book etc.

Also Jack's thing is apparently Nostr - upon which he endlessly whines that Apple won't let it transact Bitcoin.

The YouTube channel Linus Tech Tips (broad tech infotainment coverage) is in a blazing spiral after another YouTuber posted a pretty solid video on constant inaccuracies, ethical conduct, sloppy work, etc. After some very poorly considered back and forth along with a pretty bad apology video, sexual harassment claims came forward, followed by the usual “I didn’t know,” then proof they did know, and so on.

Linus himself presents as a friendly everyguy in his videos but the patterns are showing he’s cut from the same cloth as Elon. Guy cannot apologize or admit wrongdoing.

Because it provided easy access to a lot of content I appreciated, and a good way to quickly get important information in things like severe weather outbreaks where standard websites can't necessarily keep up as well? It's a mix of important and merely fun stuff, sure, but I think it's kinda silly to just dismiss it and tell people they shouldn't miss it.

I'll add that both BlueSky, and even Threads, users seem to be pretty pro-active in preventing the nazis to get a foot in the door and it's creating a surprisingly positive, and more importantly safe, environment for a lot of people.

The pirate code is really more of a guideline, than actual rules.

A month ago there was a huge row over at Bluesky because apparently some Nazi signed up and was able to just set his username to the n-word. The filters that were already in place just didn't prevent that.

There were a lot of people very angry about that, and it took way too long for the Bluesky team to respond to that.

Here's the PR on GitHub: https://github.com/bluesky-social/atproto/pull/1318
