Seeing folks talking about BlueSky since it opened, but seemingly not realizing it's likely on a downward trajectory?

Now that it's public, it's the same as BeReal and the rest: a Twitter clone. Well, except it's worse than those, it's less featured. It's very likely toast.

Mastodon's got a unique selling point to at least keep interest funneling back. BlueSky had that, but basically fumbled the federation ball when they realized normies didn't care. They decided to just be Twitter—but then the normies went to Threads for their advert-algo slop.

EDIT: BlueSky is now basically a biodome for Weird Twitter / Terminally Online Shitposter's Club, and we'll see if that's self supporting. I am in that culture! But. Uh. Yeah.
