  • I agree with the text and I think the author got most things right. For the last part, while I see that it diverged from enshittification, it can also be, well, descriptions we used before. Bluesky sounds like the good old tactics of selling customers unnecessary features they don’t need nor want. I’m pretty sure that’s how they’ll get away with it. I also see the whole crypto be shoehorned into the platform as purely optional and “oh look, for using Bluesky and not the competition, you got free crypto” and then design it in such a way that only poweruser have any real benefit from the crypto. Free money. However I see no benefit in Bluesky and will just stay on Lemmy, that’s the whole point of the Fediverse.




  • No, your reasoning, understanding of a topic and way of talking is just dumb. Get rid if that paranoia of everyone bullying you. Don’t go into threads of your political opposite and then be surprised to get flogged. Don’t brush of everyone disagreeing with you as “they are all the same and equally bad”. Stop ignoring authoritarian abusing power and wake up from you fantasy dream world where you believe this doesn’t happen. Once you’ve given up some of your rights, it’s really hard to get them back. No one is defending pedo platforms, it’s about our lifes and knowledge that these surveillance tools will fuck up normal people. It just takes one stupid vote to get the fascists into power and a whole country can move into a dictatorship. If you fail to see this, your very naiv and need to study more history content.

    You’re not wrong in criticizing the US, people who look at them objectively should obviously see the many flaws. But as with guns , the US is very patriotic and it’s difficult to argue against. But getting someone to realize and fix their own bias is another difficult topic.
