Longtime (formerly repressed) internet autist, orbited the furf*g scene at one time in the past, film photographer, tech nerd. Talking animal and anthropomorphic vehicle enjoyer. Blocked by at least one big tech employee. If your instance won't let you follow me, you should find an instance that doesn't blindly CTRL-C and CTRL-V blocklists under the illusion of "protection". Owner of several PC-9801/21s (An, Ae (needs recap), ES, Ra20, Cx3, Nr15), H98 Model 80, Epson PC-486GR+, PC-9801ES, NEC APC III (localized western PC-9801F), Epson PC-486GF, along with a Sharp X68000 Pro, PC-8801mkIIFR, and FM Towns II Fresh. Also proud owner of numerous UNIX boxes of different eras (I ran a Pleroma instance on a Sun Ultra 45). I want to do art/programming but no time/energy in the wagecage :( Avatar: screencap of Offmon from Appmon (however you call it) Misskey Alt: @Pawlicker@makai.chaotic.ninja
So here's my #1 problem with BlueSky after having an account there for a month or so: The thing with BlueSky, why I find it boring, and why nobody even bothers to screencap it (unless they have an active KF account), is the fact that due to Bluesky's moderation policy (the rumored but not exactly written policy of you can get banned if the person you invited does) and the community on the site, you find yourself being very sterile and disengaged due to not wanting to piss off either the admins of the site or the mob on the site and get banned. Essentially you find yourself acting as you would if say, you were on your work's Microsoft teams chat as opposed to a social media site. Furthermore, the invite only system creates a very specific echo chamber. It seems as if someone there wants to curate a very specific community of some of Twitter's worst. But yet as nobody else can view your posts without an account, reach is limited to the echo chamber. On Fedi, as long as you're not an idiot and making a profile with every account and alias you've ever had before posting some low-ESG content (or signing up with an email with your real name or that was used with 20 other hacked sites), the worst that happens is you're defederated from plural.cafe, mastodon.art, and freethought.online and added to the oliphant list. Furthermore, you can have others without an account see your posts easily. I think Bluesky will die off aside from a few people who swear they won't go back to Twitter.
