X will likely merge with TruthSocial as the defacto Conservative/Right-wing social media site (named something dumb like "XTruthXSocialX"), while BlueSky will become the defacto Liberal social media site.

That would be great - much better than the current situation where twitter is run like a right-wing site but still has people from across the political spectrum hanging out there due to inertia.
I think I used to play Halo 3 with that guy
99% of my Feed on Bluesky was just people saying they've left Twitter for Bluesky. No amount of suggest less of this helped.
Lemmy is just that but Linux and reddit users
happens on every "new" social media platform that is similar to another social media platform. Was all over Lemmy when people were "boycotting" reddit...course most went right back to reddit when the boycotting was over.
Well i am on both. A lack of rpg and splatoon keeps me mostly on Reddit
Morrowind would keep me there but i dont really have much to say about it anyways in terms of posts (that hasnt already been said) so ion need it myself :3
Just like when Threads launched and or when Reddit made the API changes. You get a flood of new users who want to talk about being new users.
Tbf, were you on lemmy last summer?
Or on Reddit after everybody left Digg
Haha there is a gigantic wave of people switching over from twitter right now, that's just what is on people's minds. The conversation will move on soon enough.
What's Bluesky?
Looking like it’s about time lmgtfy to make a comeback.
It's the hot new non-billionaire controlled social media app for the 2020s: https://bsky.app/
not billionaire owned, but a bunch of VC firms led by one called Blockchain Capital already put a 15million USD bridle on them
Non-billionaire controlled so far. It's a public benefit corporation, which is vulnerable to being Altmaned. Once it becomes valuable money will find a way.
That's where the federated angle comes in. Not quite there yet, but as the network grows the vulnerability to the original node getting taken over by a bad actor lessens.
No. Just the same shit with less users. Let it grow (by the millions as lemmy is trying to convince us) and you’ll see. I say we get back to smoke signals
Google will find a way to put ads in the smoke
Oh, ok.
I've started removing trash sites. I blocked twatter and reddit at my router.
