And why? And what guy?

Kind of an ambiguous reply, DetroitCity5.

Could you please elaborate? I'm not sure what you're saying. Sorry. Thanks.

By the way, Zuckerberg is apparently in panic mode. He just announced an update to threads that is a direct copy of Bluesky which has over taken threads in a couple of user engagement metrics very recently. He's losing subscribers, too. Just like xitter.

Here's an article that I found that does a three way comparison between threads vs. Bluesky vs. Mastodon. You might enjoy it.

You have to ask to join one and anyone can deny you. It's kind of snobby. Seems antisocial for something claiming to be Social media.

Anyone can join. The thought police don't live there anymore than they do here.

Every service you sign up for has rules. One has to agree to the TOS to sign up here.

To only have a current staff of about twenty people and sign-ups passing 23,128,583 last I checked the ROI based on their ability to moderate the site and keep the peace way surpasses anything xitter ever offered.

That "thought" thing might be perceived as a bit ott and paranoid, too. But I can also see how some don't trust what they might not understand.

Also, I'm pretty sure that they're not executing any nefarious attempts at mind control or suppression of free thought at Bluesky.

But I'll keep a lookout for any signs.

❤️

Yes, Musk and his flying monkeys are definitely crapping their pants over Bluesky.

See you there!
