Bluesky was literally meant to be a cryptobro social network for grifters, LinkedIn sludge, and libertarians who know way too much about age of consent laws.

Jack Dorsey *left* when instead of weird and off-putting cryptonerds, trans people started hanging out here.

The day Jack was run off this platform and left the company was so joyous for all of us.

And the current owners aren't ever going to let us forget how much they loathe their main userbase.

And once blocking became a feature, we shunned that useless founding cadre into oblivion.

i block literally everyone with a .bsky.team handle. Easiest call ever; if they're willing to work for Jay, they obviously suck.

I wish I'd saved some of his baffled posts from that era; like Dr. Frankenstein bemoaning how he'd created sentient Alf hog bots 🀣

For that matter, furries use Telegram a lot.

Y'know, Telegram? the messaging app full of russian bots, nazis, groomers, and crypto scams?

Not as much of a cesspool as X if you don't leave the furry enclave.

Twitter, while not great, got worse when he left. Bsky, on the other hand, got objectively better in every conceivable way once Dorsey was out of the picture.

The previous job of the current CEO was in creepto. She was an actual creeptosis and she brags about it

The mass adoption of Twitter by the press corps and the effect that had is mirrored by the mass adoption of Bluesky by academics. Bluesky is part of the information ecosystem in academia now, and academic librarians and iSchools should be doing more with that imho

Straight up. I've found so many excellent scientists & science communicators here. Who knew scientists could be so funny?

I'm so thankful that Nostr exists as a honeypot for the weird crypto-bros who would otherwise be sleazing around on bsky

Every trans selfie you see here is the technology not being used for its original purpose: weird dudes grifting each other for fake money and posting bullet point summaries of 100 page self help books and arguing about age of consent laws.

Jack left the day I signed up. He left Twitter and now bluesky. It's almost as if he doesn't truly care about people. Gasp!
