Good news/bad news. Out of my list of "close follows" from when I left Twitter there are only four left that haven't shown up on the social web/fediverse. Unfortunately it seems Bluesky is where they are all landing. Even ones that started off on Mastodon or Threads seem to be making Bluesky their dominant site. I'm glad they've left $8chan. I actually prefer them on Bluesky than Threads. I just wish the ActivityPub fediverse could have been the network for this moment. There are definitely some UX tricks we can learn from Bluesky that don't include having a universal network fire hose, like the "starter packs" and being able to subscribe to people's follows and block lists. We should work towards implementing those. There are some that require such a universal network view that we probably will never have and many people here think we should never have. #mastodon #fediverse #bluesky
