RIP TikTok. The ultimate example of the olds not getting it.
It is especially ironic that we're freaking out about a foreign owned social network when we're letting untrustworthy figures straight through the door over here

lmao no, TikTok users are not moving to Bluesky. They would literally rather learn Mandarin than learn how to read a feed of text posts. This is a millennial retirement home.

I personally don’t celebrate gun wielding assassins in broad daylight under any circumstances.
That being said: United HealthCare absolutely did try to kill me by trying to cut my chemotherapy dosage and I had to get my senator to intervene and it was one of the most traumatic weeks of my life.

A civilisation which throws out 13 million smartphones a day cannot be described as a civilisation. It is nothing but an infection that spreads uncontrollably until it eventually becomes consumed by its own waste

Others have noted it but I will too: The big reason Bluesky is so hot right now is that the people who add value to social media - the frequent posters in specific fields - are here now, talking to each other and creating the "spectator value" that draws users and attention.
