I was super excited about threads when it launched only to see it go dormant in a few weeks. I just hope bluesky is different and we really have a worthy competitor to Twitter with sustained engagement. All the best for your launch team blue sky ✨🎉

@nithin_jawahar Threads is booming now. It is a much better social network for socializing but if you are a business trying to market then it will fail. The algorithm is about getting people to chat to each other. Influencers have less traction on Threads but normal, everyday people now have much more visibility.

@nithin_jawahar go dormant? Threads is thriving and getting ready to join the Fediverse. Protocols are the future, let’s hope Bluesky will interop one day

BlueSky deletes posts that do not conform to a narrow, sectarian-leftist conception of politics and ideology, indulging safetyism, gender self-ID, and affirmation, ideas which not all trans people share. None of my adult trans friends do, for instance. I shared an article about sexual dimorphism in humans written by an evolutionary biologist, with no mention of trans people at all, and it was deleted by moderators as "hate speech" and speech that might make trans people feel "unsafe." So there is no principled policy of free speech on BlueSky, at least as it relates to current trendy gender ideology.

@rickreviewseverything Bluesky feels like club of twitter hating individuals. The post and comments affirms to one rhythm, anyone with different set of opinion which may be true in real world gets nailed down. I have been looking for social media which can welcome all sorts of opinion but today the political leaning is what sells. You say something true, someone either left or right gets offended.

I have spent about a month on Bluesky and it feels like the corner of the internet the worse parts of the Twitter community retreated to. The quality of discourse and content feels significantly lower than that of Mastodon, Micro.blog, or even Twitter itself.

Bluesky seems like a great social media platform. Also, I like the command 'control your scroll,' because nowadays, on other social media platforms, you can't control which contents end up on your screen. Great app, guys!
