I'm not very active on Mastodon, but saw this post - browsing the bluesky hashtag for a bit afterwards did not really give me much info. I can definitely imagine enshittification happening there, but what is causing the current drama in particular?

None of these comments are correct. This is referring to an economist and semafor article. In the article, a democratic strategist said that his “moderate” candidate was bullied off bluesky.
(No doubt because he is super zionist and isn’t doing anything to protect people from trump).
Then some people quoted the article saying bluesky is dying and it got out of hand everyone started repeating it without knowing the context.
All that happened is some center right pro elite politician got criticised so much they left the platform. And now the mainstream media is trying to paint bluesky as “not inclusive” or “too radical”.

Sounds like the exact right amount of inclusion and radicalism to me.
LOL, the bsky users (blueys? skyes? bskits?) sure know how to bully people, if nothing else. I loved how they treated Adobe some weeks ago.
Biscuits.
Real?
Receipts? Screenshots?

So a bebo situation
That name sounds vaguely familiar.
Social media site from the 2000's. Quite popular here in the UK/Ireland. Best way to describe it would be like MySpace.
A rumour spread that it was shutting down so everyone moved. Rumour was untrue, and Bebo never recovered. And eventually would be shut down.
