It's just wild to watch Bluesky fans stumble over themselves to say it's part of a federated future and that it's decentralized yada yada, when it takes millions of dollars to do with it what takes me $80 for a Raspberry Pi and $15 for a domain name to do with ActivityPub.

Idk why anyone argues it. I'm on it, but only because I want to support Not Twitter®. I'm there to just be user no. 1663987 who doesn't want to be on Twitter. I post a stupid thought, some sports commentary, and scroll the feed for a minute or two. If it went away tomorrow, I'd have 0 negative effects on my life in even the most miniscule way.

Like...I like it there, and people seem to want an alternative to Twitter pretty bad, but idk if Bluesky is it. But I also don't care to join Mastodon, as this kinda format isn't something I care about or take seriously, and I'd rather get information here. If I get a Mastodon account in the future, though, I'd rather not have it tied directly back to my spite posting account lol

Bluesky is new Twitter today.

There is nothing in its design to prevent it from becoming the X of tomorrow.

It is closer to old twitter and I never cared about federation then wouldve been fine if it was never sold to musk I enjoyed it
