I am often cynical and skeptical about new tech trends, either AI is to be the biggest snake oil sham of the 21st century or it’s coming for your lunch, I can’t decide

I also believe data residency is going to be a key issue moving forwards and the fact is Mastodon is the only major network allowing this.

After signing up for Bluesky, I really do not think it offers anything new to the table that Mastodon or Threads has already achieved.

All I ask is for fediverse integration between them all to save me from having 3 different accounts!
