   Can people stop evangelising bluesky please

   Especially if it is in the context of "look how better their UX is, its mastodon's fault for not being as good as them, and stop grumping on stopping to get people to use it"

   why do you THINK that their UX is "better", having a dedicated corporate backing of designers who brainlessly copied twitter's UI and UX, just to make the people who are depraved for those kinds of interactions feel something?

   Jesus fucking Christ, shut the fuck up, you are not making a convincing argument on bluesky, "ah yes this experience is good, it's almost like that other corporate social media I've tried", just shut up

   "Stop grumping on it", stop trying to tell me what to do, being grumpy and distrusting is part of the social immune response we have here on fedi, and while it might be overzealous sometimes, we are way more than done with any of a corporate social media's bullshit

   The fact that we respond strongly is GOOD, STOP trying to NEUTER that

     @ShadowJonathan most people are addicted to recommendations fueled by advertising and controversy.
     
     I've attempted to tell others irl about this, telling them how much better Fediverse can be for your mental health. And most seemed to agree, but they also recognize they prefer that.
     
     It's hopeless. But yeah, the fact that Bluesky chose to use their own protocol, and all the effort that implies, should be enough of a reason to not evangelize their goals.
