Bluesky Might End Up Defeating Twitter Once and for All

Major outlets did do some previously. Unfortunately, look at the active user count of Mastodon vs other social media outlets.

These companies want to reach the most people as possible. Theres also an AskLemmy about barriers to adoption of the general public unfortunately that was answered quite well :/

Fuck the algorithm. I'll take word of mouth any day. Forces me to crawl out of my hovel and be social once in a while. Lol.

This does not change the fact that the Bluesky app and the AT Protocol do not use blockchains or cryptocurrency, and we will not hyperfinancialize the social experience (through tokens, crypto trading, NFTs, etc.). To ensure we and our users benefit fully from this expertise, partner Kinjal Shah will join our board.

So we'll see how long before the VC enshittification begins.

Edit: do you have to be male to be a cryptobro? Cryptosis?
