I keep seeing friends of mine go to Blue Sky and I'm not gonna lie. I really dont like it.

BS has a bigotry slider. They have filters in place that can stop you from SEEING it but not posting it.

They'll suspend you for saying "cracker", but not "kill trans people".

BS is no better than Twitter. Literally the only difference is it's not currently on fire.

I am taking the complete collapse of Twitter as an excellent excuse to quit Twitter. I dont want to be there. Its terrible on the mental state and I dont want to support a site like it. I'm only still there cause I've been addicted for years. But there are people I know who openly go "wow the community and administration on Twitter are so bigoted I cant wait for it to die" before going right to Blue Sky.

The only thing thatll happen is they'll get addicted to that too.

I wish I could convince more people to come to Cohost. I've been trying. But I think a lot of them, while complaining about the unhealthy things, will crave and want it all the same.

Big agree, it's really bothering me to see people begging for BS invites. I don't even particularly care if they land on Cohost (hope they do!) but just the hypocrisy of leaving Twitter bc of Musk or the moderation shit and then landing on BS with Dorsey and THEIR moderation shit is...?????? I think in addition to my big internal problems with hypocrisy, I'm not super effected by FOMO and I think a huge part of the BS train is people thinking that's the next big thing and they can't bear to miss out. I wish we could all bear to miss out a little more often!!

The wild part to me is... I stumbled into a Blue sky invite and when I joined the site.... I'unno, without all my friends there the way they were on twitter it's just the Twitter format and as it turns out.... I really don't like the Twitter format. Longer post formats like Cohost just feel Better to me.

And then someone pointed out the fucking drill racism dial and now I'm very never going back.

i uninstalled the birdsite app from my phone about a week ago, and i'm kinda realizing that it was never really twitter itself that i liked. i spent so much time, years of effort, to make sure i only see the stuff i'm there for, and NOT the hatred, the counterproductive dunking, the endless jumping st shadows

i seriously do not understand why anyone would want to go to Birdsiten't, where you can't even really do that. where the entire protocol was built from the ground up around techbro free speech fetishism. i just do not understand at all. YOU'RE FREE. WHY ARE YOU PUTTING THE CHAINS BACK ON.
