       I'm going to break down why Bluesky is beating Threads. It comes down to one thing: ATTITUDE about what the Internet IS. Threads management, Mosseri Zuck et al, have a fundamentally LOW OPINION of what the internet can be and of their network's participants.1/6

       Threads and Instagram (the attitude is the same) look at the Internet as little more than TV 2.0. Specifically REALITY TV. "Creators" isn't everyone. "Creators" are the "we will pay them for garbage content that is JUST enticing enough to keep the scroll going." Nothing more than TV.Bluesky,2/6

       Mastodon, and Twitter of yore, have a fundamentally different attitude toward content and users. Users are PARTICIPANTS and on equal footing. They are deemed and viewed as a true part of a CONVERSATION, not just eyeballs on the reality-tv2.0-feed.3/6

       The techno-utopianism of the early Internet was naïve and often misguided but we shouldn't throw out the principles and aspirations wholesale out of cynicism. Threads, IG, and Facebook are the HEART AND SOUL of cynicism.4/6
