While Meta, who says they believe that decentralized social media is the future, tries to block links to federated competitors, @Jay 🦋 and the @Bluesky team are boosting competitors in the space.

I'm telling y'all, Google+ was the good place
A reminder that Meta already tried and miserably failed at AI personas in their messaging apps. I would ask why they're trying this again, but I already know that this is a "promo ship" - a vessel for a group of folks to get promoted and nothing else.

"That is all to say: the speed at which Meta delivers a product is deliberate. It is not an accident, and Meta is certainly not a company that is resource-constrained. If Meta wants to do something, it will do something." RE: View quoted note →

Some important context: Bluesky has 20 employees and started the whole project from zero, no starting network or infrastructure.
