The constant hate i see for bluesky on Lemmy and the seemingly irresistible urge to constantly trash it feels not only unwarranted, but also sad how bitter so many people here seek to be.
While not bitter in particular, it is disheartening to see yet another VC-funded social network gain traction, especially under the guise of freedom and decentralization it doesn’t fulfill in the slightest.
Sadly, marketing works, and people just flock to where the ads lead them. And the wheel of Internet history takes a turn over and over again, as people are doomed to repeat their mistakes.
You might be right and in any case the new boss is better than the old boss right? Then again maybe this is just the honeymoon period which bluesky soaks up as many users as it can before the enshittification begins to start wringing profit out of the enterprise? Time will te if the hate is justified or just sour grapes.
Bluesky is just for consumers who don’t know any better. I’ve been alive long enough to notice that there are people who need to be “sold something” in order to see value in it.
We should be promoting Mastodon which is federated.
