    That being said, comparing it to mastodon in terms of size at the moment doesn’t make sense.

    I wasn’t doing that. I was really talking about where the Twitter exodus went. I’ve said before, my opinion is that those that have left Twitter are gone and those that want to stay are not going anywhere. From what I’ve seen of Bluesky is that much of that exodus hasn’t gone there, or have stayed if they did. Bluesky feels very empty.

    So what I was really saying is that they haven’t capitalised on that exodus and I think they are too slow and too late to be able to do that now.

    Big question is how viable a small user base is for their company behind it and whether the structure of their system is something a community organisation could keep afloat.

    I think they is a really good question. And it’s something that confuses me (but I don’t know much about their financial situation). They are moving slow which isn’t ‘normal’ for a company. We’re used to them moving quickly, gaining market share and a user base and monetising it. So, assuming they are not going this out of the goodness of their hearts, what’s the end game?

    It has some nice ideas, particularly for moderation. I like that they’re thinking hard about these things.

    I think its moving too slowly and it’s lack of momentum at the time of the Twitter exodus was lost. Its too late for it to become an alternative to the likes of Twitter, Mastodon etc. and I think it will die.

    I hope that once it’s gone it will leave a legacy of those good ideas I mentioned above which other platforms will take learnings from.

    All my opinion.



  • In my opinion, it’s common sense to research an operating system, how it works and what’s expected, before you move to it. And to also research if there are any issues with your hardware on your new operating system you chose.

    The OP complained about many things. You singled out one. Most of them would have been mitigated had they researched what I mentioned above.

    Its my opinion, and I stand by what I said before.


  • Your comment, like the OP’s post fails to recognise the arrogance of jumping from one OS to another and expecting to put no work in and that it will work just as he expects.

    dogmatic OS fundamentalism

    I recognise OS’s are not the same as it’s the basis for my comment. Stop your bullremoved.

    When you move to an OS, have the common sense to not expect it to work the same way as the one you came from.

    My disagreement doesn’t meaning I’m falling prey to anything. I am free to disagree with anybody I like for any reason I deem important enough for me. Just as you are. It’s called having a different opinion. Look it up.


  • You’ve moved over to another operating system and you’re expecting it to work like your previous one. That’s stupid.

    Windows, Mac, BSD, VMS, Unix etc. all work their own way. Expecting them to work how you want them to is arrogant.

    Before you moved you might have read up on the differences and how things work. That would be sensible.

    Nobody here has any time for this nonsense. Which is why you are being down voted.


  • You can’t trust any of the ‘mega-corp’ so these donations will have handcuffs.

    One thing not said explicitly is that the Fediverse needs a funding model and I believe it will die without one.

    I know people are down voting this because of what you suggested. But I don’t think we should be afraid of taking about money and funding it. The Fediverse is not free to run, or develop, so without money coming in, it’s going to die. We shouldn’t he afraid to talk about any options of funding. Even a conversation like this, where a lot of people are against it, can lead to other ideas that are more palpable.
