Oh it’s very left, the whole open web seems to lean that way. I just find it silly and not much different from what they claim right wing platforms to be. When I go out into the world social spaces aren’t left or right and for the most part we all get a long cordially. Bad eggs notwithstanding.

The average person doesn’t care about that and large scale development cost money. It doesn’t really bother me either if it’s being run respectfully and I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt until it’s not.

It didn’t say anything except share some stats. What part of that was disgusting?

The need to give everything a political stance these days is maddening and IMO very divisive.

There’s no right or wrong way. For it to be fun for an event like that you need to follow lots of people in that space. Like journalist, reporters, beat writers and analysts. However if you don’t want that content in your feed full time you could try searching one of the teams hashtags and use the latest tab to follow along. You can also take all those suggested follows and make a list to pin to your BlueSky front page without following them and just goto that feed during games.

That stinks and it is an excellent idea. I’m really enjoying it.

More and more sports content is popping up on BlueSky.

Terrible idea. You don’t combat bad behavior with bad behavior. We just had Global Switch Day and now we’re talking about this which is the complete opposite of encouraging growth. How does this make it the open internet?

Live service games are relatively new and among the most popular every year. You’re right traditional games aren’t going anywhere but neither are these style of games. And to insinuate they haven’t disrupted or changed the industry is silly.

They’re not new games yet they are in the top games every year which might say something.

What a terrible idea. You don’t fight bad behavior with more bad behavior. Lead by example. The open internet should be open to all. Majority of the people using Chrome aren’t the ones making these decisions.

It’s a chicken or the egg situation. However you make your money you need eyeballs and they’re currently not on PeerTube. Millions of people visit YouTube everyday. That’s a lot of chances for discovery. It’s a very small percentage of people willing to limit their exposure for the things you mentioned and without loads of content it’s hard to grow and truly be an alternative to YouTube.

That is a good thing but at the end of the day that makes someone money how? The platform has to work for everyone even the professional creators.

YouTube really isn’t anything without the content and I’m not sure how open source will solve that.

Test flight is opt in if I remember correctly and allows you to download beta versions of apps. So I would assume you signed up or activated it or whatever for an app.

Twitter was alright until Elon took over so I’m willing to hang out until the billionaire psychopath swoops in.

They understand Twitter sucks now and it feels more peaceful on BlueSky.

Everyone here gets bent when anything Fediverse related takes any money. I’m not sure how people expect these apps to develop.

I don’t even know what that means. Tik Tok is a stand alone social network. I also don’t understand the need to have decentralized replacements for every social network. It’s also not realistic because the fediverse isn’t about profit and that’s what lead corporations and massive development teams to create these apps. People have to come over organically and there are already good experiences. A crappier version of an app or service they like isn’t going to convince casuals.

While not part of the fediverse if you want Twitter like activity I would suggest BlueSky. However I am also on Mastodon and I find it to have plenty of activity. It’s not the fire hose that Twitter is but to me that makes it much more manageable.
