minus-squareArghZombies@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up25arrow-down8·11 months agoI like it over there. Of all the Twitter alternatives I think it ticks the right boxes. Decentralised Low barrier to sign up Not owned by a crazed billionaire No ads No popularity algorithm Interesting features, like custom feeds and moderation lists If they can bridge their AT Protocol with ActivityPub then I don’t see why it can’t take off.

I am on both (and Twitter a bit still too) but Bluesky is where I spend most of my time.
