This raises the question: What would happen if prominent politicians had official, active accounts on the Fediverse? Public attention would certainly follow, as would journalists, who are obligated to track and report on political figures.
People don't leave the Fediverse solely because of technical hurdles. Many arrive, look around, and simply don't find enough reasons to stay. Retention is not just a usability problem, but also a matter of social density and relevance. With a sufficiently large and visible group of active participants, the Fediverse could generate its own gravity and flourish beyond the tech-savvy community

The thing is that 90% of users of any application never change their defaults. So, what might seem like a minor change is actually a very significant alteration of the social network.

#Mastodon family. I would like to know if you are on any of these platforms. I hope we can find each other. I am now on #Bluesky, #Skylight, #Flashes, #Pinterest, and I have my #blog http://sunnyindigo.com. I don’t think I will be posting anymore on #YouTube, which is why I’m giving short form on Skylight a try. Are you on any of those? Let me know! 🥰

Help kick off this early release of an awesome #StarterPack of #Architects of #Bluesky #Resistance and some of their amazing #cohort. Including some new recruits joining the #BigPhatBlueFreakingTsunami 😹😹😹
It will get a re-launch when I get to 150 later. Boop boop! 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻

So, been thinking about the "W" social media thing. The "European alternative to X". Some kind of Euro corporate tech bro thing. But it's a 'fork' of the #Bluesky code. Currently kind of on Bsky's AT Proto network, but that future is unclear. Bluesky PBC seems to hate it. They claim to be 'decentralized' 🤷
Why do we need such nonsense when the Fediverse is a proven public social media network with thousands of decentralized instances up and running all over the world including all over Europe.

Now is as good a time as any to make sure you block all of the known bridges between your Mastodon and BlueSky.

The chronological feed is not the default feed on #Bluesky. This was quietly changed about a year ago. It is now called some like the Discover feed and it is an algorithmic feed.

Pokud sjíždíte Bluesky na Macu, možná byste měli kouknout na appku Dragonfly.
Používá se velmi dobře, mám z ní velmi dobrý pocit.
Asi to u mne vyvolává vzpomínky na první twitří klienty.
