@Gargron And for accounts that live or die on having literally hundreds of thousands of followers to broadcast to, this is a much bigger deal than it is for me!

#BlueSky is really having a moment. And you know why? ( @Gargron )
People are fed up and want somewhere else to go, and BlueSky is providing a familiar experience with TREMENDOUS network effects and MASSIVE VISIBILITY on a CENTRALIZED platform. Extensible, but very centralized sothat bsky.app is the clear default. People feel safe and love to watch their notifications blow up.

I'm already passing 4k followers:

So I guess check me out there... wish it were here.

Following @Gargron is basically a ticket to watching him blow all that sweet, sweet #mastodon money on the last remaining canisters of 35mm film stock. I don't even know where you buy a roll of film these days...
But on balance, eh, best founder yet 🤷‍♂️

Original blog post:
"Most of these Unsafe Rust uses are calls into existing third-party non-Rust language code or libraries, such as C or C++. In fact, the crate with the most uses of the unsafe keyword is the Windows crate [7], which allows Rust developers to call into various Windows APIs."

We’ve replaced some pieces of that political machine—we have parallel media now with Elon’s Twitter, or X, and it wasn’t through voting. It was done by building.… We need to replace the unelected parts of the system as well, building parallel education, nonprofits, media, unions.”

Tan’s portrayal of Musk’s Twitter as a victory for his own political vision speaks volumes. the billionaire owner of X-Twitter is on yet another of his racist conspiracy theory diatribes.

Do you know why @mosseri is limiting this #mastodon crossover to just a few of his friends' accounts? Because #Threads has a massive, pervasive #porn bot account problem.
The fun thing is, he can't even post on his own app without hundreds of people jumping in the replies to call him on it. What a shit job he's done!

So...I got a #Bluesky invite. Would you believe they're actually doing worse in terms of user growth than #mastodon? Who would have imagined Jack's special gated community would hinder user uptake?
Congrats, @Gargron; I have a new creator to nitpick for a while 😄
Love you guys.

I find myself using #mastodon less and less, because nobody sees my posts, and following has slowed to a crawl.
Meanwhile I get dozens upon dozens of #Threads notifications every day and in a few weeks my account there has thousands of followers. @Gargron, we need to talk about what this says about algorithmic feed placement...

Now, I'm hoping maybe #Threads lack of search is a temporary "turning on the lights" kind of thing. But if it's some kind of paradigm shift intended to drive "authenticity" by erasing the long tail...I dunno...
