         | settles.

           | Seems fine to me. Is this like the last 10 times twitter went
           | "boom"?

             | What did you do, go to the homepage for 20 seconds to make
             | that in-depth assessment on something very widely-reported
             | for nine straight months now as an ever-engulfing dumpster
             | fire?
             | 
             | It is not fine, take your pick: questionable leadership,
             | wanton firings, bad policies, abuse/harassment, technical
             | problems, legal trouble, fleeing advertisers

               | As a casual twitter user I've had no issues prior to last

               | 
               | It seems like your own assessment of twitter comes from a
               | very emotional place and not from personal experience
               | using it.

               | It's both, actually, so I'll concede that. But I'm
               | emotional about it because I've been a user for 16 years,
               | it was the only social media I really used and got value
               | out of, and that has completely changed for me as it has
               | for countless others

               | Actually, one of the big points of contention right now
               | over at bluesky is how easily anyone can easily
               | anonymously scrape all its data. Behold, one of many
               | available sites that broadcast the firehose:
               | https://firesky.tv/
               | 
               | Currently the only thing that costs money at bluesky is
               | using your own domain name but making them manage the DNS
               | for this so you don't have to.

         | The thing that is, however, making Bluesky a genuinely pleasant
         | place to hang out, even despite its size (it's getting
         | relatively large for pleasantness!) is that the invite code
         | system requires that, even with that large number of invite
         | codes, _somebody wants to see your posts_. It is a pretty
         | strong high-pass filter; they 're just scarce enough to value
         | giving them to folks who are going to make for interesting
         | reading.

         | I got in. Bluesky is exciting and exclusive, but I assure you
         | that its popular users are not cool. Unless you think deviant,
         | ultra left-wing, terminally-online people are cool. There are
         | normal people too, but any decently-sized thread gets polluted.
