I don't post on here much any more, or monitor it much, so probably better to find me on Bluesky if you need me.
De gustibus etc. No platform is perfect. But I feel more comfortable there, and less like I'm likely to get screamed at for using Latin without a CW or something.
@Popehat Same is mostly true for me. I do still try to check in here every day or so if I can though.
Also, I have a big list of Bluesky invites if people want one. I even made a form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdte6A37KM2od72wkoQHT_1IIwgtgl9hvCg-W9PJNQffs6XFQ/viewform
@mattblaze @mmasnick @Popehat When Twitter started its slow implosion under Musk, I was hopeful that for once an open decentralized alternative might be perfectly placed to swoop in and maybe show people a better way in general. But it seems increasingly obvious that the combination of cultural pathologies and design choices that limit reach in the Fediverse make in incapable of filling that role, with the inevitable result that we'll just see a further sequence of enshittification and migration.
I would like to see the conventional, closed, enshittified social media platforms die, but to kill them I think it would take a group of people who were really focused on attracting a critical mass of people to achieve that goal, rather than a group that prefers to be insular and is ambivalent to growth.
