@davidgerard You have to ask...
Why don't the bluesky refugees just admit that Mastodon is better, freer? No muss, no fuss. Period.

@davidgerard
bluesky alternatives:
go outside to blue sky.

@davidgerard I've been calling out BlueSky for ages. It's gonna be a rug pull. Fucking venture capital backed asshats.

Meanwhile, Find Out Social (https://findout.media/public/local) just launched a Fedi Mastodon instance, that in two days had over 1000 users, and is growing like wildfire tonight.

People there are talking about "how it us so much better than Bluesky and Threads."

@davidgerard Don't forget Bridgy Fed which has to be the most cursed way to interact with AT Protocol but does have its own PDS.

@davidgerard
PDS =
Product Development Specification
Protected Distribution System
Product Design Specification
Personal Data Stores

Take your pick. I couldn't figure it out. This is why please do not use acronyms or initialisms without first defining what they are.

I try to do for acronyms and initialisms what alt text does for images but sometimes it is simply impossible to do.

@davidgerard feck.

I'm really impressed by how far BlackSky pushed it but that sounds absolutely miserable for them.

@davidgerard is techdirt guy still bragging shit how he influenced then?

@davidgerard That scummy little protocol, jfc. There was and is no need for another open source standard.

What is going on that people are leaving? Is there another round of discontent with the management/some new scandal?

@davidgerard And by "distributed" you mean "all over the place" or "in shambles".

@davidgerard it is fully distributed between the operators of the bluesky pbc ltd!
