I got into Bluesky, now… 🤷♂️ No idea what to do there. People and bots start to follow me… why? There’s so much going on. It’s definitely not for me, at least for now. My interest is more on the technical side, I guess.
@hutaffe I joined a couple weeks ago and I got like 50 followers that I know nothing about and they have zero interactions with me. I’m probably going to just leave the account there.. at least until it evolves into something.. and I have very little hopes.
@pcora @numericcitizen I expect nothing from this platform. All the same people yet again on yet another network… too late. I don’t get the „everybody move to Mastodon“ vibes here. Maybe the protocol is promising.
@hutaffe Bluesky is less of a “there” and more of a “connect to there” from what I’ve been able to glean (still waiting for an invite as well). The shape of it is styled towards what Twitter does (“the global town hall approach” to social and media) but it seems to want to be what Twitter couldn’t or wouldn’t - something more resilient to regulatory change, and more “owned” by the individuals who participate. Interesting vision to say the least. Hella interesting protocol IMO.
@Avancee I'm curious how the overall thing will turn out. What I can currently see as a definition of free, unregulated and owned over there is not really anything I think is healthy for anyone. A town hall is good and all, but anyone in a town hall, behaving like an asshole, gets shoved out the door. Same problems like before. I hope the people there are happy with it. At the moment it's total chaos and I'm just a spectator 😉
@hutaffe curious all the same. I don’t see it as a good or bad thing as the shape of BS really is more or less Twitter-done-differently.
Just like MB is the shape of doing things differently, am seeing all these different protocols and services as interpretations to “communities dominate brands” types of work. And it’s neat… loud in some spaces, beautiful in some spaces, but the morphing of connected spaces all the more
