i have been doing my very best not to make fun of friends who are jumping straight onto Bluesky, despite my feelings about it. the format of Twitter is very useful to a wide variety of creators, artists, etc.

its pretty nice to have a public wall you can throw your work onto and people see. i just, uh. don't think we should be trusting jack dorsey with it.

Who is Jack Dorsey?

Jack Dorsey in an orange tie-dye shirt in an engadget article titled: "Jack Dorsey on Musk's Twitter takeover: 'Elon is the singular solution I trust'. By Karissa Bell."

jack, seen above, is the original CEO of Twitter and cryptobro and co-founder of Square's parent, known as Block Inc. who's been working on Bluesky since before Twitter died

he tends to donate to democrats while still being happy to platform fascists for years and years as to not catch republicans in the crossfire

in fact, he doesn't really seem to stand for much of anything these days. but he's taken more of a backseat role here, as far as i can tell. we should check out the CEO of bluesky instead

Who is Jay Graber?

Article from bitcoin dot com by Jamie Redman reading: 'Former zcash Developer to Lead Twitter's Decentralized Social Media Project Bluesky'

jay, seen above, is the current CEO of Bluesky and cryptoperson who thinks web3's "user generated authority" is the way forward

Medium article from Jay Graber, titled: Web3 is Self-Certifying. The text reads: "There’s been a lot of discussion lately about what Web3 is and isn’t. Here’s my definition: Web3 is user-generated authority, enabled by self-certifying web protocols. These are a superset of technologies that include blockchains, but are not limited to them. Is this what other people think “Web3” is? Maybe not, but hear me out."

i am so exhausted.

it's 9:30 AM while i'm writing this. i haven't had coffee or breakfast, i have acid reflux, and my back hurts. i don't have the patience to keep explaining why i don't think twitter should come back, so i'm going to cut this piece short now that i've shown you the people at the helm

Why are people fleeing to Crypto-Twitter?

if the ship i was on was actively sinking, i wouldn't question the giant text printed across the rescue raft that reads "EVENTUAL PONZI SCHEME". i wouldn't complain that the raft doesn't have blocking or direct messaging, because you know what?

Techradar article from Lance Ulanoff titled 'Jack Dorsey's Bluesky is like Twitter without Musk - and that's good enough from me.'

the captain isn't actively sinking it. yet.

in reply to @Sheri's post:

"self-certifying". There is literally no such thing on an anonymous protocol. Without identity of trusted entities, anyone can be a bad actor and get away with it. Every crypto-scam and Ponzi has proven this time and time and time and time and time and time again.

People are so obsessed with maintaining the status quo because they don't want to ask if it's even worth it at all and that is exhausting.
