@HistoPol Why, yes please 🙂

@molly0xfff Only the network broadcast and big paper media outlets.

I love independent journalism and don't even think about it being in the same category.

@mekkaokereke @james You are correct in that I am definitely speaking from my own experience. I am not trying to delegitimize anyone's actual experience on here. I saw the issues that many had and they need to be addressed. This place is far from perfect but it is better suited for change than Bluesky.

Popular and easy is what got us Trump. And yes, I am judgmental when it comes to people picking the billionaire funded social platforms.

OK this is kind of a subtoot but I want to make something perfectly clear to everyone. The vast majority of people that went over to bluesky in the last migration never spent one fucking moment of time on Mastodon. They set up accounts and then didn't put any effort in whatsoever to make that a reality. They instead chose to wait for the easiest path to a new social media platform. They wanted all of their followers to go. They are attached to feedback with likes and boosts. Talking about users going to bluesky because they had a bad experience here would indicate that they actually had an experience here and the majority of people never did. So let's toss that idea in the garbage shall we?!

@mekkaokereke @james My reply is based in two years of concerted effort to get very close friends over here. This included making our own instance. Doing everything technically imagineable so that they wouldn't have to worry about that. They do not care about decentralization, at all. This must be addressed. The vast majority of people that are over on bluesky are never going to leave that server. That is important to understand. It has nothing to do with Mastodon or the Fediverse and what has been presented to them. Making the fediverse into Twitter 2.0 is not the answer. This still comes down to the fact that there are billionaires funding that entire operation and that it is a for-profit corporation.

@mekkaokereke @james Except this doesn't explain why people we had relationships personally, decided after zero experience on here, to wait and go to BS. The Twitter front end is the entire reason why all of these people went over there. They wanted something easy. Trust me. The vast number of people that just migrated last week are all of the notion that this is too complicated. They do not care as long as it is easy for them and they don't have to put any work in. And they care deeply about follower counts.

@HistoPol I used to ice skate 😄

60° here today. This is not normal. I can't explain how not normal this is for November in San Diego. That's a daytime high for January.

That being said, it was a beautiful fall day with crisp winds and puffy cloud skies.

A reminder that women, children, and many men have been dealing with the "Your body, my choice" people this entire time.

They put it on a t-shirt and everyone lost their minds.

Or just as everyone becomes aware of the new billionaire Bannon stan investor...

A blockchain cryptofuck Bannon stan is now part owner of Bluesky. Good thing Jack is no longer on the board.

I woke up to The Onion buying Infowars and I feel like there is some small form of justice in the world.

I am going to be the acid test for journalism on here. I have 32 filters in place. Most of them are simply the names of the outrageous cupboard picks. These are all the same people that the media gaslighted us with for 8 fucking years. So we shall see how much other journalism makes it in front of my eyes.

I am not above joking about this shitshow but it is not going to be my everyday bread and butter ever again.

Them: Your body, my choice

Me: Burning Bed

Talons and teeth.

Tell me again how AI isn't going to replace employees?

This is the plan to run the federal government.

I wasn't going to post anything negative but I think we're going to lose my childhood home to the wildfire.

Ahh the Hallmark of MAGA suits

I am so tempted to just knock myself out and sleep through tomorrow.

Elon is fulfilling requests from China for communications blackouts over Taiwan. This request came via Putin.

All of his government contracts and his security clearance must be revoked.
