    Mass media controlled by a handful of billionaires is simping for social media controlled by a handful of billionaires. Color me shocked.

    These media giants will never let fediverse become big

    We’re only a couple weeks out from a child pron incident and we’re constantly in-fighting/defederating with communist communities brigading other instances so… I get it.

      I will absolutely not use Twitter so I’ve tried to give threads a chance but yeah it’s worthless. How can you still not search for topics and stuff on there??

      So its “manufactured concent” for bluesky being “the hot new app to jump to”. So it will theorecically be the home for those confused by the reddit drama and that get there news from the corprate jounalists or from their friends and those they trust that do.

    They desperately miss the mid-2010s when “here’s what someone said on twitter” and “missing plane still missing” were the only stories anyone was expected to pursue, and neither required any legwork.

    Thank Musk, teh fediverse is growing a lot. Mainstream people continue in Bluesky, Meta, Reddit…etc., but the interesting people go to Mastodon, Friendica, maybe Diaspora, Lemmy, or Matrix. Quality is better than quantity.

    I’ve said it before Mastadon is an awful name. No-one knows it’s an animal. It just sounds like Don mastrubating with a fat mast.
