Yeah, I'm surprised how many go to Bluesky. It's just Twitter all over again, controlled by a single company.

Threads.

Also instagram should be shown there too as its owned by facebook.

It wasn't the "controlled by a single company" part that made me leave Twitter, honestly. It was the Nazi CEO...

that's the best part, just as twitter was sold to a nazi bluesky can be sold to a nazi too!

that's what can happen when it is controlled by a single company

Then we'll leave Bluesky too. 🤷

And fly to the next private one that will be bought in time by another Nazi?

If it's a good replacement, maybe. I'll deal with that if it happens. One battle at a time.

[–] sakuraba@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 day ago

no need to worry, at that point the new nazi owner already has all the data they got from the platform

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago

I'm with you on this one. Can't knock every single product owned by a company assuming all CEOs are Nazis...

But a big red flag is when a company sells itself to a billionaire, or goes public on the stock market. That's when we should start to worry.

The thing that make them move to Bluesky, its Elon, not the federation (Which is a shame tbh)

I think they do actually want Twitter again though. Admittedly, what Twitter used to be was still much better than what it is now.
