Don't go to BlueSky !!! They're not better than X. They obey to the same leaders... MONEY, GREED, AND POWER. A few weeks ago they restricted 72 Turkish protesters the access to their BlueSky accounts on simple request of the Turkish Government. So, BlueSky cannot be trusted they will secure the accounts of their customers. If Trump would ask BlueSky to block all accounts of members who are against him, they'll do it right away.

I mean, Mastodon is German, so they're probably moving here. The federated fork of Dorsey's Twitter is second.

[–] Kirk@startrek.website 11 points 5 hours ago

BlueSky is not federated. Also German users have outsized representation on Mastodon but most of the network is outside Germany.

There is always that one comment saying "b-but its technically kinda federated". It doesnt fucking matter if its federated if 99.999% if all users are on one instance. The entire concept of a long lived, enshittification resistant fediverse relies entirely on being decentralized with a reasonably evenly distributed userbase. You fucking bet lemmy would already be completely worthless right now if people hadnt stopped lemmy.world from grabbing more communities and users.

Let me guess, they're moving to Bluesky?

[–] Sl00k@programming.dev 2 points 2 hours ago

I tried moving to Mastadon first a few years ago and it was a pretty shit experience, Bluesky however has stuck in my app rotation pretty well.

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 5 points 5 hours ago (3 children)

Or meta because its better? Like getting run over by a small car instead of a bus.

[–] sigmaklimgrindset@sopuli.xyz 7 points 3 hours ago

Ewww people actually use Threads? Last time I saw it, it was like LinkedIn 2.0 filled with sigma grindset "chase that bag" crap.

[–] jackalope@lemmy.ml 7 points 4 hours ago

Threads sucks compared to bsky don't know what you're talking about there. Bluesky has way more features and posting quality.

Unironically yes sadly :(

That's were the marketing dollars are

It's a good start but we gotta pump those numbers up.

[–] SeeMarkFly@lemmy.ml 29 points 9 hours ago

The rest are bots and Russian troll farms.

Abandon anything this Nazi touches.

I forgot that people are still using Twitter. WTF!?

[–] OpenStars@piefed.social 1 points 3 minutes ago

They are not - he X/cancelled it.:-P

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 5 hours ago

What about his children that hate him but are still his children?

[–] Ilixtze@lemm.ee 38 points 9 hours ago

It's not just X; American social media has been gradually turning into such a shit show for the last 10 years: censorship, misinformation, consensus manufacture and creeping enshitification. I jumped ship to the fediverse and never looked back!

[–] vaguerant@fedia.io 37 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

What's the quality like of the people who are still on Twitter in 2025? Does the fediverse want them? (These are real questions, I have no idea if there's still any decent people on Twitter.)

[–] ThorrJo@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 3 hours ago

Every massive influx from Twitter has brought a deluge of people I want nothing to do with in any way shape or form, and a small sprinkling of cool ones. Fortunately like 4/5ths of the crappy ones leave again, but that other 1/5th is a big number when you're talking an influx of hundreds of thousands.

[–] Agent_Karyo@lemmy.world 16 points 9 hours ago

There likely are (I quit Twitter over a year ago), just because it does unique coverage on many topics.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 42 points 10 hours ago

It is humanities responsibility to make the rest of this man’s life miserable

[–] froufox@lemmy.blahaj.zone 20 points 10 hours ago

Small chances for now, but let's keep growing small communities here. People need to get tired of Instagram and centralized algorithms to switch to fediverse

[–] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 13 points 10 hours ago

Might have to also let people know the Fediverse exists?
