Almost exactly six months after Twitter got taken over by a petulant
edge lord, people seem to be done with grieving the communities this
disrupted and connections they lost, and are ready, eager
even, to jump head-first into another toxic relationship. This time
with BlueSky.
BlueSky’s
faux-decentralization
BlueSky differentiates itself from Hive, Post, and other centralized
social media newcommers by being ostensibly decentralized. It
differentiates itself from the
Fediverse by not being the Fediverse, and by being funded by
*checks notes* Twitter.
Oh, and by being built by Silicon Valley techbros, instead of weirdos who
understand consent and how important moderation is.
