I've started thinking differently about the diaspora from Failbook and Twitter.

Sure, lots are fleeing to Bluesky, which at least for this very picosecond seems a better option.

But LOTS are also fleeing elsewhere, and lots more are simply turning off social media.

And this is, I think, all for the good.

Every tiny thread we can pry away from the Gordian knot that is profit and virality seeking algorithmic social media, the better off we'll be as a society.

The internet is only beautiful in the small. I think the Fediverse and its anti-virality by design is an excellent example of that.

@feoh

I worry about anything becoming the new Twitter, including fedi.

We do not need another globally scoped social media platform that everyone jumps on board. We need a healthy ecosystem with an abundance of different communities experience the world in their own ways and contexts.

Fedi is not for everyone. Bluesky is not for everyone. I don't think there should exist any one site that is for everyone. And I try to remind myself of that when I bitch about Bluesky.

As long as it doesn't suck all the air out of the room like the silos before it did... it can exist. I guess.

@JoYo @feoh

I know, truly a wonderful time to be alive. There's like dozens, at least.
