Everybody talks about "why not Mastodon" in the comments of these. I thought about that for a long while back when I used Mastodon, and I have an answer: discoverability. ActivityPub does not make things easy to find, which makes a Twitter-like service even more like screaming into the void. It effectively becomes "bring your own audience," and tends to only amplify the voices that are already the loudest, though as a consequence of the backend, rather than a malicious choice like Twitter.

Eh... seriously?

Are the Russian fascists in the room right now?

Bluesky was founded by Jack Dorsey and is currently majority-owned and ran by Jay Graber, a Chinese-American woman from Tulsa.

Hell, I even searched specifically for controversies and Russian connections, and absolutely everything that came up said the exact opposite of your claims here.

Not even national. I have a toilet with a ceramic flush valve built into the tank and it's almost impossible to find a flapper that's set up for this.

The Steam Community is a cesspool, and a good part of that is owed to the lack of any centralized moderation. Game communities are moderated by publishers, developers, or their chosen volunteers or employees. If a game is forgotten, its community becomes totally unmoderated, and there's nothing like Reddit's auto-bans to prune these abandoned communities.

Also... pretty sure they just let community moderators do anything they want as long as it's not outright illegal.

Considering that some searches right now tend to be thirty different "news" sites republishing the same article... I dunno how to feel about this.

And the entitled bs still doesn't stop, even when called out. From recent comments on the issue:

He wants people to give him money just because he wants it.
I hope God guides his way into salvation.

Crackhead bs right there.

Been saying it for days, so I'll say it again.

Survive now, protest later. Killing yourself and everyone else is not an effective message.

The part with the Tom & Jerry clip, it says something like "Windows haters finding a reason to blame Microsoft," and shows them searching the house and finding nothing.

The amount of changes I've made and things I've installed. If I move to another distro, it's gonna be at least a week before I have everything back up to where I want it.

Wow. I hate that. It's positively terrible but it explains so much. And worst of all, I am in far too deep to switch distros at this point.
