This launch of #Forkiverse by PJ, Kevin and Casey has got me inspired, so I got switched from mastodon.social to the Forkiverse, verified myself on here, and I found #Fedica to tie together Threads, #BlueSky, and Forkiverse for a one stop shop for all my federated social media needs!
With very few exceptions, I just purged all BlueSky accounts from my follows list. And it felt really good.
Finde #bluesky ist schon eine unnötige Plateauphase in einer verpassten Lernkurve, und #eurosky wird durch eine europ. Cloud nicht besser, sondern nur anders doof, aber.. naja. 🤷

Just logged into #Bluesky for the first time in what feels like months. Holy hell... it's a cesspool of shrieking and rage-sharing awfulness with zero hashtags, content warnings, etc. Had to disable viewing shares and reposts to make it remotely useable. 😳
Granted, most of them are American and a large percentage of their countrymen apparently wanted what's happening now, but it really confirmed how much like pre-Elmo #Xitter it is.
#USPol #BeKind (to yourself and others)
@scalzi fires back.
Touche'. But:
1. You don't use mastodon you just have 45k following nothing.
2. Bluesky is a walled corporate social media garden owned by billionaires.
3. The same #bluesky that is now giving #ICE a platform
4. That guy was me, homeboy.

on #X and #bluesky i wrote very lengthy threads about #systemsdynamics, i am not gonna do that anymore.
if you want to get a clue on the lowest, most basic level of this stuff, no matter if you are just a recreational systems thinker or an whole ass applied #systemsengineer (maybe especially then), you should read meadows primer on how this stuff _actually_ works.

#bluesky entwickelt sich mit #cashtags weiter in Richtung Monetarisierung und trifft Entscheidungen, die keine Unterstützung in der Community haben. https://www.heise.de/news/Nicht-die-Community-Wuensche-Bluesky-bringt-Livestream-Anzeige-und-Cashtags-11143418.html @heiseonline #digitalindependenceday

Scoop: Musk shocks with $10 million donation in Ky. Senate race - he’s bankrolling Trump’s candidate. #ElonMusk appears to be a #fascist bastard. Surprised? I didn’t think so. And btw, there is simply no longer any excuse for staying on #X as it has become a cesspool for nazi, fascist and #CSAM. And #Bluesky is no better. #SocialMedia https://www.axios.com/2026/01/19/elon-musk-10-million-campaign-donation-kentucky
I enjoyed the Bluesky bridge, and set up an account there too.
Oh. I debridged about a month ago, partly to avoid accidentally linking anyone here who didn't want that.
That infamous ICE account on Bluesky currently has 424 followers. And the blocklist rankings are still led by JD Vance.
Personally, I'll keep my Bsky account for now.
