I don’t really get all the pessimism. Even if folks are right in saying there’ll be a bait and switch, this is people moving to a new platform en masse. If Bluesky goes to shit there’s more reason to believe users would just move again.

In the meantime, as members of the fediverse, we should be using Bluesky being “decentralized” as a way to ease people into actually decentralized platforms.

It’s already delusional to think you helped by not voting, but I’m not gonna listen to a dipshit who’s just gonna sit on their ass and blame anyone who actually tried to protect the rights of queer communities. Fuck off.

I mean, yes, I am surprised that they sat on their asses and tacitly chose the even more genocidal candidate.

I get not wanting to make the choice between eating dirt or wet shit, but sitting this one out was just asking for wet shit.
