BlueSky Hits #1 In The App Store, Is It Worth Switching From Twitter?
I’m brushing off my account over there—I just really got out of the habit of “microblogging” and wasn’t able to get my head back into it. I haven’t been able to post today because it looks like the new traffic is a bit much, but I’d be really happy if this does in fact become the primary Twitter alternative. I think the biggest problem has been getting a critical mass of people to make the move (artistic livelihoods, it’s tough), but now Muskworld is just untenable. It took a week and a governmental meme appointment, but people have finally had it.
As much as people like Mastodon, I went over there and could not figure it out. Possibly because I didn’t know what server(s) to go to and if I’d be welcome when I parachuted in. Which is fine; I feel like Mastodon probably doesn’t want to be the town square where anyone and everyone can sign up and there are uniform safety measures across the entire service. We basically need “Twitter before it went to shit ten years ago and also a little bit better.”
