       (Sad) lesson from a failed attempt at building a Twitter alternative."Being kinder and safer is not enough of a differentiator, because kindness and safety by themselves aren’t interesting enough. There was not enough interesting content on the platform for the experience to become a daily habit"https://medium.com/gabor/from-t2-to-pebble-the-rise-challenges-and-lessons-of-building-a-twitter-alternative-553652f1d1e7

       @Claeshs But also this: "Joining ActivityPub would have been a big engineering effort, but federation could have brought in enough interesting content to make sticking around be worth it."

       @anderspuck Yup, at this point, I believe the only real threat to Twitter is Bluesky, Mastodon, and Threads all connecting via ActivityPub.

       @Claeshs Especially Threads, I guess. After using Bluesky a bit, I must say it looks like there is a looong way to go before they are at that point from at technical point of view.

       @anderspuck I agree. Threads and Mastodon joining forces could also pose an existential threat to Bluesky.
