As a matter of fact, Bluesky originally was supposed to become Twitter’s back end, but it was spun off when Elon took over. Jack Dorsey left and is now promoting nostr and X.

Bluesky is way more approachable than Mastodon. Most people don’t want to have to learn what an instance is.
I think it belongs at the very bottom of the page.
It’s really annoying and I don’t trust it
It might seem really funny but TikTok is so far YouTube’s most formidable competitor so far.

I just saw an article about Google adding pop-ups during navigation to Google Maps.

The Philadelphia Inquirer has. The problem is that Donald Trump and his supporters don’t care what the editorial boards of the Philadelphia Inquirer, the New York Times, or the Washington Post have to say about him.
People here just downvote anything they don’t like even if it’s in its own community
Depends on the server you’re on. Lemmy found popularity when a group of communists had their subreddit(s)banned
That’s actually part of the reason why the original devs started Lemmy.
To answer your question, it’s inertia. People need to be forced of Twitter if before they join Mastodon/Bluesky/Threads
God I can’t wait for that website to die already
I’m heavily interested in Bluesky, so I started !bluesky@lemmy.ml. However, Lemmy is overall pretty hostile towards Bluesky, and I’m not willing to go back to Reddit for active discussion about it.
Are there any potential repercussions for sticking a utility knife into the speaker grill?
Car-dependent suburban sprawl
My favorites:
It is not well known but there have been numerous scandals which put this trust into question. For example in 2012, a trustee of the Wikimedia Foundation UK used his position to place his PR client on Wikipedia’s front page 17 times within a month. Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales made extensive edits to the article about himself, removing mentions of co-founder Larry Sanger. In 2007, a prolific editor who claimed to be a graduate professor and was recruited by Wikipedia staff to the Arbitration Committee was revealed to be a 24-year-old college dropout. These are only a few examples, journalist Helen Buyniski has collected much more information about the the rot in Wikipedia.
I don’t really understand how decentralization would address the trust and legitimacy problems of Wikipedia. I do see value in adding community wikis to Lemmy, however.
Hashtags are on the roadmap, but have not been implemented yet.
Not everyone has moved on to Bluesky yet
Blame Apple I guess
