Wasn't this also sort of a feature with Twitter? iirc the retweet and other now popular features were originally hacked together by users
Retweet was original using the text "RT". Hashtags were also invented by Twitter users.

The LinkedIn vs HiQ case makes it so that scraping data behind a login screen is not okay but publicly accessible pages are fair game.
Was this the main reasoning for moving everything behind login more than data hoarding of the viewers?
At no time is management obligated or even remotely motivated to tell end users the real reason for making the change, because users believing that the platform is just a greedy corporation is better than them realizing that the platform will just roll over if the police presents them with a subpoena to snitch on a user.

None of that is remotely close to hate speech. President Trump is not a marginalized community.
Hate speech or not, there is nothing pleasant about it. The irony is that the 'holier-than-thou' crowd, who are against hate and for love all over the world, overwhelmingly post negative political comments and are rooting for X/Twitter to collapse. This ^ is a good problem to solve in social networks.

I must be one of those tiny dots just floating in nothingness because my BSKY feed is a dead zone. I've posted, I've replied, I've liked and tried to be an active participant but nothing seems to stick. There's only so many posts I can publish "for myself" before I lose interest. Contrast this with early Twitter where everyone was just super excited, and eager to follow new people. I don't get it, shouldn't a new soc…
Did you try Mastodon? Many have a better experience there.
It’s very off-putting and alienating for normal people.
Bluesky and atproto seem to be built to be hackable. Someone in the community recently built a searchable directory of Bluesky "Starter Packs" (which are a way for a user to publish a set of interesting people & feeds to follow, primarily to help newcomers bootstrap their experience): https://blueskydirectory.com/starter-packs/all Dan Abramov posted about it earlier today, saying he liked it and: "the fact that it ca…
Another argument is that it could lead to a bot problem 10x worse than twitters ever was.
So not quite 13M but almost half of them, pretty cool nonetheless
I'm part of the wave of users who migrated to bluesky last week. I have to say I really like it so far, which surprised me a bit given that I had been underwhelmed by mastodon before. I already spend more time in bluesky than in twitter. For those (like me) who don't know what bluesky is, it's basically a carbon copy of twitter circa 2015, down to an almost identical UI. Except that there's no monetization, no ads, n…

Bluesky seems to be also very common among artists.
The mid-October bump was artists discovering that posting on Twitter allows them to use posts for training AI. https://bskycharts.edavis.dev/bluesky-year.html

How does it compare to Threads?
