@lextenebris I do plan to ask the players what they want, but I want to start with several strong pitches first.As the GM, I need to be enthusiastic about the campaign as well, after all.

I see people on #Mastodon ragging on Bluesky, while I also see people on #Bluesky ragging on Mastodon.Which just goes to show that no matter what social media platform we use, human behavior is the same everywhere.

1/ After #ElonMusk has started to heavily promote #Trump in the past months, #Bluesky has seen a large surge of new users while #Mastodon has not. Yet I am more convinced than ever that focusing my social media efforts on the latter was the right choice. Why?Because Bluesky is not Trump-proof.

2/ #Bluesky is developed by Bluesky Social, an US company - which means it is within the sphere of influence of the #Trump administration. While Trump himself might not care, we can already see that #ElonMusk will have a massive influence in his administration - especially on anything tech-related.

3/ And if #ElonMusk starts perceiving #Bluesky as a threat, he will use his political influence to get it under control. Maybe his buddies will buy Bluesky Social PBC outright. Maybe he will just throw regulations at it to make it nonviable. The end result will be the same.

4/ If the owners and management of #Bluesky want to #Trump -proof their system, they had better start now - move their headquarters to the #EuropeanUnion or other safe haven, and do their best to encourage the federalization of the system.

5/ If #Bluesky Social shuts down - either their servers, or the company itself - then there should be other servers owned by other groups who can keep the system running without interruption. As long as this is not the case, Bluesky is not #Trump -proof.

6/ Addendum: @bufferapp , I am pleased to report that your thread-scheduling functionality seems to work just as advertised.I am looking forward to when you implement instance-dependent character limits - then I will get _lots_ of use out of this! š

@mastodonmigration I would love to believe that #Bluesky will be different and can escape the #Enshittification trap.But I have been burned by commercial social media systems twice - first Google-, and then Twitter. With #Mastodon at least I have the confidence that it will get better in the long run, which I don't have for Bluesky.

@stuart @WetHat @mastodonmigration I disagree. He leveraged Twitter/X to get privileged access to the second Trump administration. This is _extremely_ profitable, easily worth more than the purchase price.

I've shared this article yesterday, but I want to highlight this part:'Meta has more than 3 billion users globally. In a wide-ranging statement, Zuckerberg said Meta would also āget rid of a bunch of restrictions on topics like immigration and gender that are just out of touch with mainstream discourseā and āwork with President Trump to push back on governments around the world that are going after American companies and pushing to censor moreā.He cited Europe as a place with āan ever increasing number of laws institutionalising censorship and making it difficult to build anything innovativeā'This is an explicit threat to the #EuropeanUnion . Zuckerberg has fallen in line behind #ElonMusk and the incoming #Trump administration in order to promote #fascism around the world to a degree we haven't seen before. If you think that the situation is already bad - and it is - then you will nevertheless see that it _will_ get much worse.#X #Facebook #Meta https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/jan/07/meta-facebook-instagram-threads-mark-zuckerberg-remove-fact-checkers-recommend-political-content

@mekkaokereke As always, my take is:"Everyone has the right to free speech, but no one has the right to a captive audience."I see the right to leave spaces you are not comfortable in to be pretty fundamental. And people who _insist_ that their voices should be heard by everyone are deeply suspect to me. Especially since they usually want to drown others out.

@futurebird I'm _pretty_ sure they would not be able to swallow me, although I would be leery of leaving unattended infants in their vicinity.

@Computer I suspect that none of this would have happened if said citizens had been taking their proper doses of happiness medicine!Apparently they forgot: Happiness is mandatory!
