    Does anyone actually say this though? I don’t think anyone who joined Bluesky did so for federation - they joined because it’s not Twitter.

      Yeah there’s this really weird group of people on Lemmy who are obsessed with thinking Twitter and blue sky are the exact same thing. I don’t know if it’s because they don’t get why people switch to Blue Sky or if they’re trying to purposely downplay the Nazi stuff on Twitter. I really can’t decide. Strongly leaning toward the latter.

        You are on the Fediverse, a community centered primarily around free, open source, federated software watching every normie on the internet abandon one corpo playpen for another corpo playpen. Of course we’re upset about it.

        I think Bluesky is currently better than twitter, I have absolutely no faith that it will remain that way.

        Possible it’s that. Could just be they hate that general format of twitter/bluesky for social media. I lump them together because I’d never use either. No clue on the actual populaces on them.

      I joined because it lets me use my domain as my username without having to host an instance.
