Why would anyone...
Right?
Screw these public "social media" BS.
Yes, I get the irony of me being on lemmy, but it's a different animal. I'm not here shouting to the world like shitter and crapbook.
I'm looking at self-hostinsomethinglike Friendica, just to make sharing with family and close friends easier.
I've been happily using Mastodon but most of the users I followed on the old site went to BlueSky instead. There's no other way to keep up with them without it, and it sure as hell is better than Twitter these days
I haven't had the chance to use it myself, but I am interested in watching its development.
The AT protocol supposedly addresses some big issues with Mastodon and other ActivityPub-based services (like Lemmy). Notably, account portability and distributed identity. From the AT FAQ:
Having a distributed, portable identity system with built-in public key exchange is a big deal. IMO that is the single biggest problem with ActivityPub. Users should be in control of their own identity.
I follow some people on Mastodon who did the half-baked profile migration, and it's really bad from a UX perspective. Occasionally I want to find their older posts and it's difficult, certainly not search-friendly.
Except profile migration doesn't exist in AT. They may make it in the future but it doesn't exist at all right now.
Oh. Womp womp.
What are you even supposed to do on sites like bluesky?
Furry porn, as mentioned above, seems to be the selling point
eh not a big deal but after I weed out the big bear type guys I both furry and not I'll be a bit happier
It took me a while to mute all the furries that kept popping up in random feeds.
And that may just be the feeds’s algorithm. But if I’m in the cats feed or nba feed, I don’t need to see furries.
Talk into the void.
Follow Ukraine news, economics, etc
I was able to get an invitation and i couldn't spend more than 10 min on it
