This is still the more real social media than #Bluesky.

Bots and randos have swarmed Bluesky, and that's all just noise. I have way more followers than here, and yeah... for now... more engagement.

But I can't ramble on for thousands of characters.

I can't write how it feels right. I can't turn the phrase without condensing to a pithy burp.

But maybe that "Pithy Burp" training will help me here, where there's longevity possible.

Bluesky will get enshittified. It's abso-fucking-lutely inevitable. Eventually, ads will take over. Then they'll start trying to milk everyone.

Why?

They're a for-profit company.

I pay like $12/mo for the pleasure of self-hosting my own #fediverse instance.

We've proven this works.

Now we're the backup social network. The only alternative with any real security, at all.
