@rakoo@blah.rako.space @Gargron@mastodon.social @graue@social.coop @michaelcoyote@mastodon.social If Calckey had been ready in Nov 2022 I think it would have have seen a much higher retention rate than Masto.

I get really frustrated by how Masto dominates conversation, even in the Fedi itself. People don't seem to realise they have alternatives that don't mean starting over somewhere else.

Yearning for the day when disgruntled Masto users lift their eyes to the better software the Fedi already has...

...but, no, when they do lift their eyes it's to external platforms funded by venture capitalists.

So frustrating.

Tiring of #Bluesky chat so here is my current gaggle of honking thoughts before I fly south for winter. Geese imagery for the win. Honk.

* I will not be joining Bluesky. Tried it last year: it's not for me. Long Live The Fedi.

* I am also largely resistant to Human Herd behaviour. Hot Right Now = me swerving to avoid. I don't trust crowds. FOMO makes an enemy of contentment.

* If you find Bluesky better for you, awesome. My highest wish for people is that they find where they're happiest. You do you, with my blessing.

* Just go in eyes open, is all I'm sayin'. It's a centralised, VC funded enterprise, and if you don't know what Enshittification is look it up. The future trajectory of that service does not look promising. Twitter is the lesson from history that some of you are choosing not to learn.

* The Fedi has problems, large and small. We know, ok? But if you're heading for Bluesky, don't be a dick and savage the place loads of your audience still think of as Home.

* Bluesky looks attractive but I see lots of folk making comparisons to Mastodon, the least well-featured of the Fedi social media clients. Give a Misskey fork a try (Cherrypick or Sharkey 👍) and you might see differently. We have Quote Posts, Bubble Game, MFM, emoji reactions and Achievements. 😁 Drive is also really neat. Honourable mention: Akkoma is great too.

* Starter Packs are a great idea the Fedi should explore (we're almost there, just need to tweak Implementation). Cross-pollination is healthy. Fear and ideological bias should be beneath us.

* I'm not averse to bridging to Bluesky. Curious to see what benefit it could bring. But also good to know that link can be severed at will.

* Basically, enjoy what you love and be kind to each other. It's not difficult. Love and Light.

Every other social media platform in the Fediverse has quote posts. You can get that for yourself, today, as easily as opening an account on Sharkey or Akkoma or Cherrypick or....

@jacklaridian@social.horrorhub.club ...is that Angelica Houston??

Well, Diddy or didn't he?

I can't say enough about Scavengers Reign. What an incredible rare jewel it is. I didnt know Warners had already cancelled it, but omg I expected it. Here's hoping the second life fairy visits soon.

And Furiosa is, as you say, a little bit of a masterpiece. Between this and Fury Road I'm a little bit in awe of Miller's seemingly effortless mastery of his craft. Just a thoroughly enjoyable romp through an extraordinary life, one of my fave films of recent times.

Great write up, both of you. And bless you for continuing the textual tradition; I'm too old and ornery for podcasts and youtubery! 😁
