My science Twitter contacts seem much more enthusiastic about Bluesky than Mastodon. The greatest criticism I have heard about Mastodon is its decentralized nature; people were afraid of being stuck in silos. As far as I understand, #Bluesky is also decentralized, yet this does not seem to be how is how it is perceived. It seems like an opportunity has been missed here.
What do you think?
@flodebarre Is it true that the people who necessitated the #TwitterMigration are the same people behind #Bluesky?
@alxsim @flodebarre Pretty much so. Are the two (X and Bluesky) still connected to each other?
@bibliolater @flodebarre Not that I know of. I'm not an expert at all, I'm on neither of them.
@alxsim @flodebarre I think there is. I do not remember off hand where I read it. When I have a few minutes I will try to find a link for the piece.
@bibliolater @flodebarre If you mean that the billionaire who sold twitter to X is the same person that created bluesky then yes
