And I'll be right there with Bluesky, it's so much better on every issue, significantly fewer bots, no ads, no premium version, and no AI

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

[–] meep_launcher@lemm.ee 6 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Oh yea, he never turned off his mic. Pretty sure I heard his mom come down with tang and Oreos and he cussed her out

[–] bizzle@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago

His mom has pretty good tang though 👀👀

[–] psychothumbs@lemmy.world 6 points 9 hours ago

That would be great - much better than the current situation where twitter is run like a right-wing site but still has people from across the political spectrum hanging out there due to inertia.

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

[–] Podunk@lemmy.world 5 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah thats how it was here after the reddit fiasco.

[–] realitista@lemm.ee 3 points 3 hours ago

It has improved here though, thank Jeebus.

[–] rozodru@lemmy.world 23 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] joel_feila@lemmy.world 6 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Well i am on both. A lack of rpg and splatoon keeps me mostly on Reddit

[–] bruhsoulz@lemmy.ml 4 points 10 hours ago

Morrowind would keep me there but i dont really have much to say about it anyways in terms of posts (that hasnt already been said) so ion need it myself :3

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 15 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Tbf, were you on lemmy last summer?

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 8 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

Or on Reddit after everybody left Digg

[–] psychothumbs@lemmy.world 10 points 11 hours ago

Haha there is a gigantic wave of people switching over from twitter right now, that's just what is on people's minds. The conversation will move on soon enough.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

On my feed it's just pictures of pets and people who I don't know making lists of things they like. But to be fair, I just installed the app today.

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 5 points 10 hours ago

Just like when Threads launched and or when Reddit made the API changes. You get a flood of new users who want to talk about being new users.

[–] sunflowercowboy@feddit.org 3 points 9 hours ago

Lemmy is just that but Linux and reddit users

Looking like it’s about time lmgtfy to make a comeback.

[–] psychothumbs@lemmy.world 17 points 12 hours ago (5 children)

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

[–] rational_lib@lemmy.world 25 points 11 hours 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

Not best either

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 16 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

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