   So I've had Bluesky for a couple of days. Some observations (and I'm going to use an actual list. If Mastodon doesn't render it, complain to Gargron)...

   • There is a significant overlap between there and here in terms of users
   • Of the non overlapping parts, we think they're all weird crypto nerds and they think we're all weird tech nerds
   • I haven't actually seen any crypto nerds there
   • You get followed by random people all the time
   • They think we have sticks up our arses to the extent that "you aren't allowed to say anything on Mastodon(SIC); it's like if social media had an HOA"
   • They think we have no sense of humour
   • Their perception of us is, I think, inaccurate
   • Our perception of them is, I think, inaccurate
   • It feels a lot like Twitter
   • If their perception of us was accurate, I would have a hundred angry replies to this because I said, "Twitter", and haven't content warned anything.
   • They're living in a kind of antebellum age of innocence there, and it's not clear how they're going to manage when the worst people in the world turn up

   
   Anyway, it's going to be interesting, for sure.

   And like I said, if this looks like arse on Mastodon, complain to Gargron

     Also, I am so totally over enforced short form posts. There's nothing big, clever, or useful about having to split shit up into threads. It's just wank.

     Crypto nerds sounds too respectable. I like crypto crooks more.

     @anttipeltola Not all of the crypto people are scammers.

     Some of them are scammers' marks.

     @goatsarah The difference on Mastodon is that more often than not, the tsk-tsking and language coaching are sincere efforts at maintaining a conversation and raising its level, not winning it. I choose this. Also: Tech Nerds > Crypto Nerds, change my mind.

     @goodthinking An indication of significant prowess in debating is being able to win a position that you do not believe in.

     I do not posses such prowess, and therefore am, regretfully, unable to change your mind 😉

     @goatsarah I expect the crypto nerds to be at nostr, not bluesky. Have you checked that out as well?

     (I have checked out neither, I'm a long-time fedizen content with my lot)

     @goatsarah Wow, so I checked this post on like 7 different Mastodon iOS apps and only ONE rendered this post correctly: Tusker

     @tusker

     A couple of them wouldn’t even display the post and the others showed it as a wall of text.

     @Wraithe @tusker sorry. That was autocorrect. It was indeed Tusker. Won’t log in to Friendica (needs to support oauth realistically)

     @neilasaurus @goodthinking @goatsarah People don't use social media because they care about computers. Computers are a way to use social media. Why would they want to hang out where people talk about stuff they find boring?

     The vast majority of people in the world have no interest in how cars work, they just use them. Imagine if every time you went to the market there was some weirdy beardy telling you your overhead cam was frotzed and you're a bad person because of it.

     @goodthinking @goatsarah yeah interesting point, people with Twitter brain can’t.comprehend earnest help.
     When I was wondering if I had gone to the right place for social media, I figured that having followed the computer security (tech nerds) community was probably the right choice.

     @goodthinking @goatsarah More Twitter brain, I guess, definitely don’t want to go to the social media site where the people that actually are computer experts go, just like they don’t want to get medical advice from doctors.
