I've been checking out BluSky as a friend of mine is there. It is a bit Instagramish? Everything needs a photo? What is your experience?

@LifeTimeCooking I've contemplated looking but I just don't want to juggle anymore accounts. I recently reviewed my dormant following here. I can see that BlueSky was the destination for many of the academics and environmental activists I followed on here that no longer post. I think those people are ones that REALLY need a network of people for their professions. People who need to be part of a conversation. I mean no judgement in my analysis. Just found it an interesting observation. 1/2

@LifeTimeCooking I might still sign up for an account. But - and NO to get too Fediself-Righteous - but I don't like that they are not adopting Activity Pub and are trying to create their own decentralized protocol. I'm not techie at all but I just feel like they could be a part of such an exciting new thing for the internet. Instead they are trying to create another walled garden. I think many of us here in the Fediverse came for a new way of doing social media. 2/2

@LifeTimeCooking HAHA. I think I understand. My graduate school's unofficial motto was "I know how it works in practice, but how does it work in theory." LOL

@seanbala Ok. But I am looking for "lived experience".

@seanbala I asked for people's experience, and all responses so far have been "I don't need another platform".

@LifeTimeCooking Will do! What sort of things are you missing from the other place? I was never a big user of the Other site so I don't really have a baseline.

@seanbala There are still things I miss from the old platform that are not here. It would be nice to find them somewhere, but I doubt BS (or any new platform) is the vehicle. Nevertheless, I want to explore before I make any judgement. Let me know if you do sign up for a look.
