For the love of god wake up people, do you know what little percent of people know about fedi? Services like these jump to where the public is, not drags public behind it. Bluesky made huge jump publicity wise, and that's when it was already more widely known than fedi. Moaning about it doesn't help.

In perfect world, we'd have country-specific instances with all national news and announcments centralised in there, to which people could easily subscribe to. But that even sounds complex to average person, compared to "Hey, Bluesky? Yeah twitter but better".

Man, everyone bitching about Bluesky but very few cheering the long overdue departure from twitter.

Anywhere is better than twitter.

[secret300@lemmy.sdf.org]

Ah yes anywhere is better than twitter let me go switch to threads.

Jumping from one central controlled platform to another changes absolutely nothing. People switching to Blue sky instead of the fediverse are braindead

[whatyouneed@lemmy.world]

Any changes away from Twitter is a net positive. I don't care where, as long as its not there.

I'd have no problem with them making Bluesky account, but why not both that and spinning up a Mastodon server?

It's just short-sighted

[demdaru@lemmy.world]

Well, to keep profile on Bluesky they essentially keept the same social media presence guy and just tell him to switch. To add to it Mastodon, they suddenly need to extend infrastructure to add a server, need to have someone manage that server and on top of that make that social media presence guy also take care of posting there. If they even have that guy and it's not simply something Monica from HR is doing.

And all that for what, maybe 500k people using it? Accounting for people not hearing about it, not being in EU, not caring about it etc. etc.

For comparision, Bluesky has 3 times Mastodon's users and it's growing quicker than Mastodon, being seen as viable alternative to twitter/x.

Brb, switching to Truth social

[whatyouneed@lemmy.world]

That will increase the number of non-bot users to 2

I am unique on there

According to fedidb, the fediverse has 1.3 million mau.
