If you are using Social Media to oppose the tRump fash regime, great.

If you are posting anything decrying the regime's attack on democracy on #bluesky #linkedin #facebook #threads #substack #instagram #whatsapp #xitter then you are just seeking clout or numbers for a monetized platform.

Stop giving fashy techbros money and support. Every post, every click on their platforms is money in their pockets, that they WILL use to destroy democracy.

We have to bulld a new healthier open social web. The current closed, commercialized siloes are indeed a cancer.

GOV. COX:
"Social media has played a direct role in every single assassination and assassination attempt that we have seen over the last 5, 6 years. There is no question... Cancer probably isn't a strong enough word. What we have done especially to our kids, it took us decade to realize how evil these algorithms are."

@span tchambers facebook, threads, bluesky are the WRONG answer, as the current events have clearly shown.

EVERY corporate owned (yes, blewski is vc crypto techbro owned) is a toxic negative entity. NO, none of them are the Fediverse, just unfortunately "bridged" to here.

No exceptions.

Apparently Microsoft don’t understand how the Fediverse works, and want me to delete the parody account @microsoft 🤣🫡

I know a lot of folks here have their qualms about Bluesky, but I hope folks are paying attention to what Rudy Fraser and Blacksky Algorithms are doing to decentralize their community from Bluesky PBC infra.

Decentralization at every level of the stack is happening on ATProto. It started *within* the Bluesky infra, slowly drifting away one step at a time, and it's inspiring to watch it all happen.

File under: digital media literacy

The great @molly0xfff has a mini-thread up on Bluesky revealing how her Substack dashboard shows steady growth... despite the fact she stopped using that platform a year and a half ago: https://bsky.app/profile/molly.wiki/post/3ltd6biesvk2r

Substack's "network effect" may be an illusion. More on this here: https://bsky.app/profile/molly.wiki/post/3ltd6fud6jc2r

I'm really happy I left SS for Ghost in January 2024 and I never looked back... and yes, the abbreviation is not that coincidental

#Substack is the new #LinkedIn, where only dumbass boomers use it, and think it's actually reflecting some form of reality, creating an echo chamber of like minded idiots.

@cwebber beyond me why people are still at #bluesky. It's the trap of tHIs tiME WilL be dIFFerEnT, I guess.

#ATProto is NOT an open API. Any parallel implementation still has to go through bluesky's servers.

They are still owned by #DTBO vulture capitalist cryptobro techbro billionaires, who have stated they will sell your data and info to LLM predatory enterprises.

Baffling, really.

Meanwhile, #AcitivityPub remains simple, #FOSS, inexpensive, truly decentralized.

Go figure.
