Twitter .. Bluesky is a poor imitation, and X is not Twitter ๐Ÿ‘€

Sneaky lol

But really was Twitter actually any better than X? Re: account deletions/Shadowbans ๐Ÿค”

I'd say it depends on the era you talk about .. from what I've heard though (I'm no longer on Twitter/X) X is much more open about the bans and deletions, so there's that, I suppose.

X

Iโ€™m saying BlueSky. 1; because I feel sorry for it in this context. 2; I never vibed with Twitter anyway.

Needless to say I have no accounts on either.

Bluesky is actually very good for sports, especially live sports.

I think it's quite good for Other Topics generally, probably still not as much as twitter/x. But there is always the hovering threat of bans and blocks, don't stray into politics when you're in these topics lol... which is certainly more of a thing on Bluesky

I did a little digging and it seems theyโ€™re not banning accounts at the relay level, itโ€™s all AppView-level banning for now. So as long as you download your repo from time to time and set a DID:Web (or do all the recovery key stuff if using their DID:PLC) you can get up and running on a new host pretty seamlessly, you just sort of reconstitute in another AppView, Terminator 2 style. You're still indexed on the big relay despite the AppView ban. The relay policy for now appears to be to just filter for perhaps CSAM and maybe spam or sybil-type attacks (legal and network threats, basically).

Of course there is only one relay at present, so until there are at least a few up and owned by different entities you're still at the graces of whoever at Bluesky's legal entity sets the relay policy. And they've kept the directory in-house too, so they have that ICANN pointing-power over all relays anyway. (They say the'll spin out the directory into an independent non-profit, but I'm very wait and see on that one.) Also even if you're de-indexed from the relay an AppView can still pull directly from your PDS if it wants to. So things are not so black and white over there. But one thing is for sure, everything developer-wise over there is super clunky.

It reminded me of Philippe Vuillemin's infamous dilemma: La mort ou ยซย tchi tchiย ยป? ๐Ÿ˜…

Suicide. There's always a choice

Pick oooonnnnneeee lol

I've never used blue thingy and not been on Twatter for about 6 years, so if you're being all Nazi on me I'll choose gas chamber 2, Blue Sky.

๐Ÿ’ฏ twitter

Most people here wouldn't last a day on Bluesky lol, it's quite clearly the lesser evil

still lots of funny/entertaining/informative stuff there plus i need local news/traffic updates, bsky is just people busy blocking each other

and i dont give a shit what odell says lol

Twitter. The hard question is where Bluesky sits in a ranking. I'd take Mastodon over Bluesky too.

Bluesky should be at the very bottom

Not Bluesky, they already wasted months of my time in the past. The scheme there is you have less reach than the people who run the mute lists and you can't catch up to them because they had you blacklisted while the user base and mute lists were growing too big to run through the backlog
