This harkens back to the days when an objectively better social media would come out and just replace the existing one. Nowadays most social media are contracted by the government or monopolized and just consume them

I'm amazed Bluesky can run its platform without ad $$$.

The absence of ads and algorithmic push do make the user experience so much better on Bluesky.

I hope Bluesky can somehow find a way to keep itself ad free 🤞

Lmfao. Mastodon part 2. Everyone will be all about it for about 48 hours before promptly heading back to Twitter.

[dertythegrower]

Bluesky is already a joke and being roasted, and their own users call it echo chamber.. get a reality check, ha
