X will likely merge with TruthSocial as the defacto Conservative/Right-wing social media site (named something dumb like "XTruthXSocialX"), while BlueSky will become the defacto Liberal social media site.

I think I used to play Halo 3 with that guy

I suspect it will only because every single furry on YouTube seems to be trying to get the entire fandom to move from Twitter to BlueSky. You know we run the internet.

These kind of articles always remind me whenever a new MMORPG launched, and then people claimed it would be the World of Warcraft killer.

99% of my Feed on Bluesky was just people saying they've left Twitter for Bluesky. No amount of suggest less of this helped.

happens on every "new" social media platform that is similar to another social media platform. Was all over Lemmy when people were "boycotting" reddit...course most went right back to reddit when the boycotting was over.

Ha ha ha, yeah, sure. Bluesky won't defeat xitter, at best it'll just be the "next thing" once xitter finally finishes getting rid of most of its users, which I guess will take more than 4 years from now.

Twitter facilitated exactly what Elon set out to do with it.

I've started removing trash sites. I blocked twatter and reddit at my router.

It's the hot new non-billionaire controlled social media app for the 2020s: https://bsky.app/

[–] rational_lib@lemmy.world 33 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Non-billionaire controlled so far. It's a public benefit corporation, which is vulnerable to being Altmaned. Once it becomes valuable money will find a way.

not billionaire owned, but a bunch of VC firms led by one called Blockchain Capital already put a 15million USD bridle on them
