Memes about the Fediverse
Can't wait for the enshittification of this "decentralized" platform.
People are damaging the reputation of real decentralized fediverse platforms like mastodon and lemmy by adding bluesky into the fediverse even though they aren't even decentralized to begin with. Funny
You say that like we wouldn't see similar results if lemmy.world went down.
Rather than acting holier-than-thou about people jumping from a corporate platform to a less corporate platform, we should be happy to see some movement away from corporate enshittification.
Userbases moving like this is like rent lowering gunshots against the corporate walled garden hellscape we keep hurtling towards.
The vast majority of people moving to Bluesky aren't the least concerned about decentralized or not. They want off of Fascist Elmo's platform. And that's perfectly OK
Is it funny? Sure. Would I like to be on Bluesky? hell no.
But we need everybody off X pronto. No more waiting, no more "well they use it for work", none of that. And this didn't help. So.
Get it back up, get the Xitters in there, and let's hip them to the real Mastodizzle.
Yeah people just seem determined to make terrible choices. I am glad people are finally leaving twitter--but--like--why so late!? Why to Bluesky!?!
But I actually wound up making an account on Bluesky today and followed a few accounts from people I like. I figure at the very least, if they're able to successfully move once, maybe they'll be more willing to do it again at some point? Hopefully they come to Mastodon and I can follow them with the account I've already had there for years now...
that’s pretty much it… with the atproto/ap bridge it becomes a LOT more viable to interact across networks, and thus people can choose to move and use whatever platform they like, and that helps to solve the critical mass problems that we have in the fediverse
That's the gist of what I posted here (lacking in the hip street slang). It'd be great to get everyone on to the Fediverse but perhaps it isn't ready yet (I'm hoping Iceshrimp.net gains traction when it's done as it has a lot of the features people are looking for) or perhaps the potential users aren't.
Those are real people too. Bots don’t report issues
Down again.
I’m not familiar with how Bluesky works, but I bet that if lemmy.world goes down it will feel like Lemmy as a whole is down for a lot of people. Is this similar to that, as in that the major instance went down because of the large influx of users? Somewhat comparable to the influx of Lemmy users from Reddit that we’ve seen? Or is Bluesky not really federated and did it go down as a whole?
