Bluesky will get Reddit-like communities this year as dedicated spaces where users can hang out with people who share their interests.

    Running out of ideas and the flow of users are slowing down.

      The place quickly turned into a silo of hand grenade throwing echo chambers. Some hilarious takes by people who have completely lost touch of reality.

      If I said this in Bluesky they would just assume I was talking about Truth Social.

          You’re not wrong, but a difference is that most lemmings don’t really want to be here, i.e are in exile and pretty up front about that. I’m not saying it isn’t an echo chamber, but it’s a much messier one than Bluesky.

          I think to whatever degree innate tribalism of humans play roles in internet communities, federated servers is still the best way to reflect the good and hinder the bad. Migratory identity would take activity pub a long way in making federation better, but even without it activity pub shows that bluesky to be a monolithic platform with a federated coat of paint.

          Ya, you are not wrong there. It’s been a mixed bag at times but YPTB been good proof of this place goin downhill too.

          Basically no social media is safe.

    I do like the idea of more competition to reddit here but we’ll see how well it does. I know bluesky is considered like fauxfediverse but it’s better than nothing as far as mainstream apps go.

      The only reason it is currently better is that it is comparatively smaller than the mainstream apps. The more successful and mainstream it becomes the more it with enshittify.

      Is it? I think nothing can would be preferable. Let the masses go to the fediverse instead.

        Weirdly, fediverse might be more viable if it’s a bunch of corporations fighting for control. They have money for ads, prob wont shut down due to an influx of too many users and lack of moderation. (or they will like digg, but that was more because they got a bunch of liberal tech nerds instead of the maga, aihype, wsb crowd they were pushing for)

    Anyone who expects BlueSky to go down a different road than Twitter probably has stock.

    I’m not sure about that implementation, but this certainly sounds clever. Especially if they can roll it out before Facebook manages to do the same thing.

    Now whether this will be used for scraping AI data, or whether it will be a privacy disaster in the long run, remains to be seen.
