As someone who never used Twitter, I made a Bluesy account and it was okay. I learned that I have no idea how to engage with that style of social media. One thing that put me off is how so much of what I saw was just talking about Bluesky vs Twitter. I hope they can move past that.

Lol, I got curious about nostr, and it's the same thing, with an extra layer of "crypto currency will save the world"

I joined twitter like 3 years ago, so also quite late to this type of game. Compared to forums, hn, reddit etc it's quite difficult to get your voice heard in the beginning. Anything you post is just shown to no one when you have no followers. Takes some time interacting with others and hope they follow or repost to get some traction.

What's preventing everyone from putting their faith in another broadcast medium just to have it sold to Elon again? It's hard to trust social media these days. They have 0 incentive to be "good" from a variety of perspectives not just political.

I don't like Bluesky because I feel it's a whole lot of pointless Not Invented Here vs. improving on ActivityPub, but it is still far more resistant to that than X/Twitter because people can migrate more easily.
