companies programmed us to refer to art, music, video, and writing as "content" to make it seem like it comes from the website and not from a person who had to think of it and make it

It’s only been two days, but it seems clear to me that Bluesky missed its moment to be the Twitter replacement.

It feels like Threads is going to eat Twitter’s lunch, and Bluesky will be a cute niche site. Hope I’m wrong, but feels inevitable already.

genuinely the best of luck to threads, mastodon, nostr, and every other project in this space. these projects are darn tough and I know a lot of passionate & talented people are involved.

no matter how it ends, I think there's a lot of reason to hope for good outcomes for people

I'll repeat a tip I used to find people when I got here: find one person you know (usually the person who invited you) and go through their following list because there are probably mutuals there. Repeat with those mutuals. Soon you'll have a nice timeline of familiar folks. But find new folks too!
Fair. It's a challenge just finding people, and there are way too many social platforms right now.

Gm Bluesky! Yep, I’m that guy that shares his kid’s art. Definitely didn’t get talent from our side of the family.
