    there’s quite a few people in this thread with the same weird vitriol as reddit had.

    if someone uses bluesky and you don’t, then why make yourself upset over it? i have both mastodon and bluesky. i use both.

    I’m not sure why everything has to be a weird competition. some weird us vs. them shitfight.

    its literally just a social media platform. jeez.

      Because I have seen 10 posts about how Bluesky is the new Twitter on my Lemmy feed in two days. I overreacted a bit, but what you say goes both ways. Absolutely use what you like but there is no need to spam a new platform like that.

        its because of all the new accounts that have been made there. that’s likely why you’re seeing so many posts about it.

        a mass exodus from one twitter to another is a big deal for a lot of people.

        The same happened when everyone moved over from Dig to Reddit back in the day. It’s really annoying for like 2 weeks with everyone talking about it, and then it calmed down.

          2 weeks? it was a lot longer than that. I mean hell there was a god damn multi-part comic about the “war” between digg and reddit. early reddit was a cringefest.

            I do remember there was a sub about it. Don’t remember it infecting much beyond that though after the first few weeks. Perhaps I’m misremembering.

      its literally just a social media platform. jeez.

      And we know what kind of control the platform owners have. “Just” doesn’t cut it I think.
