Bluesky - "Decentralized" Twitter Alternative. Leftist Tranny Hugbox. "Answer" to Elon Musk's "Fascist" Takeover of 𝕏 (Formerly Twitter).

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.

It really makes me wonder if the twitter structure is ever a really profitable one. Everyone's betting big on Bluesky right now, but Bluesky is attracting a very expensive crowd of former Twitter users: retards that like to report shit constantly. Reports require human judgement to solve, which means they're labour-intensive. Musk had to cut labour HARD when he picked up Twtter, and he made choices specifically designed to reduce the amount of moderator work required at that platform. Bluesky's already over-involving itself in censoring certain types of content (human labour) and it's not even monetized yet.

This isn't a problem AI will solve. Bluesky's users will change their minds about what content is offensive on a monthly basis. A consistent algorithm won't be able to keep lockstep with this type of crowd.

It is almost as if liberalism cannot exist without censorship and in the end just eats itself as it needs everyone to be censoree for it to sustain itself.

They can't censor letters

All the posts you find there of "waow, it's so nice to have a non-toxic social media!!" While 80% of the discover page is either complaining about Twitter or complaining about politics gives off the same energy as buying one of those dumbass sodastream things and forcing yourself to use it instead of admitting it was a waste of money.

Also, I feel like this has been astroturfed to hell since I can't find anymore articles talking about it, but pre-elon twitter was not profitable to start with. It was basically held up by being a "tech stock" with investor funding, floundering on investor capital. I have no clue how they are planning on handling the server load there.

I don't think so.

I was on BS when it first launched and it already was rapidly becoming a troon echo chamber.

Remember Jack Dorsey (creator of BS) gave Vijaya Gadde (global lead of Twitter trust and safety, aka head censor) his full support when she was arguing with Tim Pool on Joe Rogan.

Was not surprised to see this uber-melodramatic cornball fled to this gay hugbox, also his kindergartener-level English (he actually pronounces "chasm" phonetically a bunch in one video, UH OH) always suggested to me he is quite possibly a retard. He does M.A. so is it due to cranial encephalopathy a la Brendan Schaub?

I'm surprised there isn't a thread on him. Then again, he isn't particularly notable other than being yet another groomer-colorted video essayist. They're a dime-a-dozen. Has there yet been a proven link between CTE and mental illness? There have been a few who trooned out or simply declined, like the author of LISA.

At some point before monetization comes into the picture however, they will be forced to clean the patently obvious filth the whole site is built upon

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. The advertiser is king, and the advertiser probably doesn't even want to touch the site whose name is now commonly followed with the phrase "the pedo one, right?". I don't think even a cleanup will help here. Only the right advertiser – sex toys, HRT and maybe gamer juice. Though I genuinely doubt the current audience has much disposable income, even if it's so highly polarized. With so much blockchain-tier inefficiency for a pseudo-federated backend that isn't actually federated in practice, I can't imagine it being an efficient operation that'd survive off donations alone.

I just read the OP again and what the fuck are the content filters? Why the fuck are there filters for 'potentially illicit' and 'scams' and 'security concerns'? If you have illegal shit maybe just remove it? Who the fuck is going to click the button to be shown scams?
Click to expand...
To be fair. How many scams, pedo and porn bots are everywhere on YouTube, Twitter, or Facebook right now? 'My pussy in bio' was a big meme for the past year and a half for a reason. Pretty much every big social media site is like this. Even rumble has this problem. You get rid of it by being niche or allowing users to write scripts to better filter them out. Twitter used to do this too.

Everyone made fun of Steve shives and others for it. But everyone who wasn't whining about drama all day used them, it made the site go from the hellscape it was to actually curated to be what you wanted. Elon removed the ability to curate your experience and made the site obnoxious to use. Why would anyone wanting to get anything done want to have politics and drama 24/7 in their feed? The answer is they wouldn't which is why anyone who did anything useful on the site always had a block list that could reach heaven.

Twitter may be more active then ever. But what's that activity? Bitching about politics all day, trolling. And people whining that all the gamedevs, artists and anyone worth a damn blocked them. (I wonder why).

Kiwifarms is cool and based on its own. But mainstream sites should never attempt to emulate it. Nobody is here to get anything done. People are here to laugh at morons, scam artists, and people who need prison time. When mainstream sites become that economies collapse because nothing gets done. Kiwifarms is just like furfags and weeb culture. Normalization of it shouldn't be allowed. Because it just becomes toxic and boring. And ruins everything cool about it.

Excellent OP. Nice of the cows to elect to all flock to the same pasture.

Having said that, I kind of think the site is going to do better and last longer than many here seem to think.

They seem to be attracting fairly high public profile people I don't associate with the lunatic left, though I guess they're pretty liberal. If:
  • enough normies follow these people over and
  • if they can get the purity spirals under control somehow and
  • if they don't bloat up with an insane number of useless employees (as Twitter did)
they may be on to something. Not saying the site is going to be a slam dunk necessarily, but there seems to be a market out there for it.

That's something I've noticed as well. There's a lot of high profile game devs moving to bluesky, such as Toby Fox of Undertale fame and Ninjamuffin of Friday Night Funkin fame.
You didn't see those people move over to threads or mastadon. It's clear Bluesky is gaining a lot of traction unlike the other twitter competitors.

I worry about the future. As fun as it is to laugh at retards on bluesky - and it is absolutely hilarious - I can't help but feel that this is an unsolvable problem that will inevitably lead to more violence down the line.

Yeah...

But considering that said violence is going to be committed by people who take bodily damaging hormones made in a bathtub that weakens both muscle and bone, I'm not worried.

Maybe they shouldn't have given invite codes to trannies when it was in beta state. They reap what they sow, sad as it is.
Click to expand...
If they wanted to have more appeal to normies, they really fucked up by only giving invite codes to trannies and extreme leftists, who in turn made sure to gatekeep the codes and only provide them to people they trusted/approved of. They also essentially enabled them with site moderation and policing. The core userbase of Bluescat is these initial extremists and they have control of the site culture and moderation. No normies are going to gain traction with rabid trannies ready to pounce on them for the slightest wrongthink.
