Bluesky is popping off lately it feels even more lively and the block tools are great.
Sigh, here we go again. I jumped on board because it’s where my friends are. Was pleasantly surprised that most of my old twitter follows are already there. Still, given the history I’m being careful and ready for the next enshittification exodus.
I wish folks would just embrace self hosting and decentralization but we obviously love to make the same mistakes again, and again, and again…
Decentralization is a bit like showing people "Here's how to make friends. I won't actually introduce you to anyone, though." I kind of want to at least get a starting point off a general topic.
History repeats itself. Stay on Mastodon
right now I consider my fediverse and self hosted stuff as my 'real' profile. bluesky falls into the same category as linkedin, a necessary evil for my 'professional' profile.
So no, I won't be leaving mastodon (or lemmy).
Ok I get it
Why not self-host your Bluesky personal data server?
that is the eventual plan.
I feel you. I really hope things turn out this time around.
