John Oliver promoted alternatives to big tech in last night's episode, including Mastodon and Pixelfed
-
BlueSky made their own protocol that they control, citing that ActivityPub wasn’t enough for what they wanted to do
Sounds like bullshit for useful idiots that don't know what they're talking about.
-
We still shouldn't be doing the dirty work of rich people for them.
We should all be promoting Mastodon over the centralized and corporate-owned bluesky.
-
and honestly that’s all they need to know.
Err... why are we suggesting the corporate-owned and centralized bluesky over Mastodon then?
Oh right, viral marketing and useful idiots. I shouldn't have expected more.
-
They don't care about doing any of that, though. They only make promises to get elected and reneg on everything once in office.
Did any of that happen while Biden was in office? Didn't think so. It's because he's a stooge propped up by the ruling class to make people like you think he has your interests at hand. He doesn't. Establishment democrats do not want to raise taxes on the wealthy. That's a progressive agenda.

Those are literally laws they have written, voted on, and in some cases actually passed before.

I signed up today. I never liked Twitter but I will give it a try. Steam (PC gaming platform) is a member so that's a plus for me.
-
I’m wondering this too People are hyped about bluesky but it is the same corpo bullshit that Twitter is. I mean it is literally by the same dude. Why fold?,
-
There is another interpretation. Calm down.
-
Err.. what?
Care to explain what that 'other interpretation' is?
-
The charm is why I keep coming back. Especially when it comes to the Lemmy Charm comments for lemmynsfw.com.

Signal has been questionable for years. The way it's been pushed hardly, and how Moxie is emeritus, while much more questionable people are in control, doesn't fill one with confidence, and does ring some alarm bells. The relative proximity to some in the US establishment should be enough to do that. And the way some have been designating anyone who questions Signal as "Russian Propaganda" and immediately deflecting about how Telegram is bad, is even more curious.
Frankly, I would trust something like Wire more than Signal. And there are other options too.
Ideally, something with good security/privacy and is fully P2P would become popular. But those apps/networks never make it mainstream, which is unfortunate.

The Picard Maneuver "Am I joke to you?"

Talk to John Oliver then.
-
They want to make crime fighting more accessible to the police...

Didnt Dorsey already walk from it and gave the reason that it is headed the same way twitter is. Bluesky is being pushed by capitalists because it is a for profit company just like twitter and facebook.

thats how its creator feels too.

You are taking "replace Twitter" as an appellation, when in reality it was intended as a condemnation.
-
There are plenty of naive people on here also shilling bluesky over Mastodon.
