Additionally, #BlueSky does not run on ActivityPub. I doubt it will ever work seamlessly with Mastodon instances.

We’ve already learned, repeatedly, that corporate owned social networks don’t work. ActivityPub (or a similar technology) that is not owned & controlled by a single for-profit entity - and where the data is decentralized - is the way to go.

The current challenge is that many potential users find the fediverse confusing & intimidating. (2/2)

@mcc @jstevenyork The current hype with #BlueSky is a mixed bag. I’m happy to see users move away from X, and BlueSky is 𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘭𝘺 a pretty good platform.

The key word is 𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘭𝘺. Just like Twitter of yore, BlueSky is a for-profit company. Enshittification is inevitable. Users are locked in to the platform and the the company is beholden to VCs / shareholders. (1/2)

I’m an undecided voter.

I also don’t know what I want to eat for dinner tonight.

I’m torn between prime rib - or a casserole made with cat turds & rat poison.

Testing bridge to BlueSky.

If you want to insult a man, tell him he has the 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵 body type to be a successful Olympic pole vaulter.

Shark Tank but, in this version, the investors are placed in literal tanks with sharks.

The naming conventions used for Xbox consoles are confusing & make no sense!

“I am Groot”

Anti-marijuana propaganda is alive & well in mainstream news.

This article says that 𝘥𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘺 marijuana use has overtaken 𝘥𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘺 drinking in the US. It then goes on to mention the health risks of “high-frequency” (i.e., daily) marijuana usage.

It conveniently fails to mention how daily drinking can have an extremely negative impact on one’s health (I doubt most daily drinkers are just having a single glass of wine each day).

@BeAware Nah. Truth is, when this happened a couple times in the past, I was honest with my friend and told them I had to Google it. I can’t really remember the context, but it just occurred to me that this is probably a funny and/or relatable anecdote.

Friend messages me with a funny meme based on a pop culture reference.

I don’t get it.

I Google the pop culture reference in order to understand.

I reply to friend: “ROFL, that is so funny! I 𝘵𝘰𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 get it!”

Watch out for vampires during the eclipse.

Some people post the weirdest, most nonsensical bullshit on here.

I would like to sincerely thank those people.
