everyone I know on twitter is moving to bluesky and I'm extremely annoyed over that whole invite only feature like- that just creates another feeling of superiority and fosters clique thinking.
like all the popular artists ofc get invites and people with little reach or few freinds? go f urself i guess
@GrumpyWolf i am only still on that garbage site because i'm a freelance artist and that's where i get most of my clients from
I really want to move away to somewhere else but building a new client base is rough
@Kestrill Welcome to adulting, where the points are made up, and you were lied to as a kid!
Seriously though, I get it. It's rough, but we all manage to get through it somehow.
You don't have to go. And if your "friends" will only participate in something you find cliqueish, maybe they're not friends, maybe you were just in a clique.
Restricting access and promoting the idea that it is an exclusive club gets people so excited and relieved when they are "picked" that they check all those boxes and agree to the terms without reading them. 🤷🏻♀️
@Cosmichomicide yeah pretty much. Also everyone expects to become famous immediatly because it's a small community at first but like, lbr, the people who gain a big following already had one in the first place
@Kestrill tbf, the only reason why I'm even on the face site is to talk with coworkers. Other than that, I don't interact outside of them.
Thankfully none of them are on that ugly bird site.
