  • Really?

    Because I can’t agree. Bluesky is, weirdly, geared around building up custom “queues”, and the default queue, called “Discover” has some really niche stuff in it. This is very much so not like the usual Twitter method, and is way less immediate for generating a dashboard with valuable content than Twitter’s “Just follow a bunch, the algorithm with add in the gaps”.

    Like right now the third post ok Discover is a Bara Furry artist essentially advertising his porn.

    Bara Furry Porn. The OPPOSITE of mainstream.

    I find the app very off putting every time I open it.

    they’re free

    They were not always free, and when they were, they were up to a limit. Yes the limit was something absurd, but surprisingly, some people did hit them.

    That’s why as soon as phones had easy access to the web and enough bandwidth to last a month, people started treating SMS like a last resort, and I have not met a single culture on Earth that didn’t think this way in the transition period up to when what you said became universally true.

    Plus… People don’t want to message only their “contacts”, nor want their phone address book filled with trash. Mindblowing, know, who would have thought (other than US apple users???). Facebook’s Messenger was one of the earliest to give that to the wide public and it got heavily adopted. But people moved on from even that.
