This from BlueSky's @pfrazee.com remains one of my favorite posts on BlueSky. This is not a zero sum game and I am so excited by every sign of one of the decentralized baby turtles making it off the beach. Building an open social web is the future.
And I think each network can learn from and improve the others.
As things like @bsky.brid.gy bridge these networks, these just become one larger open social web. Just like different protocols for one email.
@TCatInReality @SirTapTap I wouldn't conflate the UK with the EU, the UK has a much worse laws on personal freedom and privacy (and France isn't much better, they sure do love their authoritarianism).
There are a number of countries in the EU that techbros largely avoid because it's a lot harder to get up to their usual bullshit than in others.
As for the laws regulating social media, depending on which ones, they can in fact be healthy. It isn't all or nothing.
