So they finally got DMs. Took over a year and so far they haven't made a dent in amplifying a new platform worth competing with Twitter (currently X).

I keep getting emails about great updates to Bluesky, but I don't see anything changing. Still no video capabilities. Still no DMs.

Looks like 2008 Twitter...which isn't a compliment.

Bluesky needs to get its act together. If Elon starts charging for basic access, he'll lose millions of users who have no comparable platform to turn to.

And no, I'm not interested in Meta's Threads. Where are the DMs on Bluesky? Where are the video capabilities? Time to step it up.

You ever notice it's perfectly okay for people to make money holding a sign promoting the very oppressive crony capitalist world that drives poverty, but when people in poverty hold a sign asking for help, they are vilified and criminalized? #Priorities #HowCapitalismWorks

The worst part of Bluesky is that the natural abbreviation is Bs.

I can think of three lame jokes right now that someone will end up using to defend other platforms based on that dumb little factor alone. It will get irritating.

Don't tell me you haven't thought of it too...at least once.

Do you think anyone is working on Bluesky? I mean a serious team that has a sense of urgency to put something out that will be at all competitive with other mainstream platforms?

We know the money is there. Looking for more investors?

Any feature updates coming? Really need video.

If you think a celebrity politician is going to save you from a system that made them who they are, then you haven't been paying attention.
July 25, 2023 at 2:19 PM
With Elon renaming Twitter to X, people are claiming they are ready to exit the app for bluer skies.

Let's see if Bluesky picks up with activity after tomorrow.

So far, not a lot of engagement around here.

There is a silence among us that deafens every crowd.

It ain’t gonna happen on its own. If you’re not doing something to make it happen, then it ain’t gonna happen.

Socialists want to build roads and bridges to connect people.

Neocons and neoliberals, the fertilizers of fascism, build bombs to destroy those connections to secure their own power and wealth.

My son shared this. I guess I did something right.

On this 4th of July, be aware that we are experiencing the accelerated fascist destruction of any semblance of democracy to protect the ruling class's interests.

Why are you on Bluesky?

Tell me what you hope to see from this platform where others have failed without mentioning any specific personalities associated with those platforms.

It's okay to test out people's principles before you do business with them.

The Onion coming through on the new platform with relevant content.

I don't want to post this on Twitter bc I always get swarmed by random accounts that never read the post and just scan for keywords, but:

I need a video editor for credits that can create a short intro/extro for a show I'm considering. Easy concept, just need After Effects stuff I can't do. Anyone?
July 2, 2023 at 2:46 PM
I'm trying to decide the type of content I want to focus on here at Bluesky.

Honestly, I'm tired of talking about and repeating the same things about the same solutions to the same problems that aren't being seriously addressed.

I won't spend any time here arguing with disingenuous souls.

The most important responsibility any society has to itself is to educate the next generations to succeed it.

Punishing people with a lifetime of debt to dedicate their lives to their greater purpose is counterproductive at best & self-destructive at worst. #CancelStudentDebt

Student loan payments were frozen as part of the CARES Act on March 27, 2020.

It will be over 3 years without payments and the system hasn't collapsed and those lenders haven't gone bankrupt.

It's almost as if they could #CancelStudentDebt right now but just refuse to do so.

Rather than repeat myself, just accept this as an ongoing principle.
