      Holy crap. I don’t go on Twitsack any more but I guess I shouldn’t be surprised the remaining people are clowns.

      Honestly I’m laughing at those comments. Most of them are outright pathetic, not just sad or annoyed or smug but childish and pathetic.

    I’m happy with doing so just so I can see comments without signing in again. I do believe social media was geting too highly censored, and I dont trust the government to decide what to censor.

    But you cant call yourself the “town square of the internet” while hiding things from people you cant monetize.

    I don’t understand why any business is active on any social media, especially ones run by billionaires.

    Post your shit to a website.

    Have it auto-mirror to a social media platform.

    Funnel questions back to your own website.

    Done.

      That’s what it is most of the time. The thing is that native content just does a lot better than linked content. Think about how often someone will see a link and not click it. If they don’t have to click and you meet them on the website they’re already on, your content is consumed a lot more. I’m not just talking about so-called “content creators”, but also things like what the Rust account would post.

      I have been recently reminiscing with some friends about the internet back when instead of massive websites that held everything, there were small forums with specialized focus. You could get to know the people in the forums over time. It was so much better than the shit that exists today.

      I would love to join forums made by these projects. I don’t care if I have to have a bunch of accounts. Individual forums and RSS feeds are awesome. Since moving to RSS I have drastically reduced my mindless scrolling.

        Ah yes phpBB those were the days. Wait, no they weren’t. They sucked. Old forum software was one of the worst computing experiences I remember.

        Want to download a custom Android ROM? Hope you like reading through this 120 page thread one page at a time. Oh and each message will be surrounded by a metric mile of profile pictures and signature.

        RSS was pretty great though, I’ll give you that.

        Huh? I might be misunderstanding something (maybe a joke, even!), but this is my lemmy account, that’s kinda older indeed. How would that be connected to my mastodon account?

    I still dont get why people use bluesky. I mean if you really want a pseudo federated social media, might as well use twitter and not migrate. Its ridiculous.

      if you really want a pseudo federated social media

      The vast majority of people don’t, they simply want something like what Twitter was before elon ruined it. If the Twitter exodus resulted in mass adoption of federated platforms, it’d be a happy coincidence.

      I assume people want something centralised like Twitter but without Musk. Most people don’t care about federation and don’t want the extra complexity and division it causes.

    Why are people using bluesky? Just use mastodon or something else federated. Stay are from centralized platforms

      First off they are using Mastodon. And secondly Mastodon is still pretty half baked as a platform. If it was as far along as Lemmy is, which is ironic because I think Mastodon was developed first, then people would probably be using it more. I just don’t think anyone’s putting in the man hours to streamline it the way they have with Lemmy.
