Bluesky just opened its doors wide. (Has been invite-only for a long stretch.)
Opinion question: which looks like a more productive investment of a small organisation's time and energy:
@th3j35t3r That's pretty much exactly how I feel.
Like...they're both a waste of time and energy...?
And this is a big problem. COSO is so good, a 'refuge' as you say, nobody wants to tell anyone about it over fear it getting overrun by cocksuckers.
BIG PROBLEM especially when you consider our non-existent PR and marketing budget.
@th3j35t3r @sumpnlikefaith @White_Rabbit
I’m not as worried abotu Coso being overrun with you there to play whack a mole with their accounts. I’m happy to say I’ve gotten at least 2 folks to follow me here, but social media has preferences like sports teams have fans it seems.
@LnzyHou @NiveusLepus @th3j35t3r @White_Rabbit People are conditioned to be overstimulated.
When that overstimulation feeds and is fed by algorithms aimed at maximising commercial gain for the platform, it ends up being all gas pedal and no steering wheel.
@sumpnlikefaith @NiveusLepus @th3j35t3r @White_Rabbit
Because they feel dead inside. It takes rage & chaos to make them feel alive.
@NiveusLepus @th3j35t3r @sumpnlikefaith @White_Rabbit
When I came over from TW maybe five out of 29K followed me. Within a couple weeks, they complained it was like watching paint dry (and other expressions of boredom).
Despite everyone’s desire to have millions of folks on CoSo, the huge numbers will stay where the worst of us can thrive.
Not the best.
