Some unsolicited advice -<p>You run a service that serves public text updates. Why am I reading a blog post and not a series of bluesky posts?<p>I know that different mediums serve different purposes, but it’s tough to see why this wouldn’t be bluesky-first content.
It’s a shame, Bluesky has the best interface of all the newfangled twitter competitors, but like most of the rest of them, the content is just a very specific niche of rage-bait.
Oh yeah Bluesky lol Took them years to launch a stripped down Twitter clone. Nostr at least had that obscurity thing going for it. Both were like "Ok? Now what?"<p>People are over Web3 protocols. We have torrents, email, git, and other decentralized technology that was invented to solve specific problems - this idea of inventing a social media protocol is cool, but it comes with all this baggage. It's a for-profit company - wait it's not a for-profit company - it's decentralized - wait it's not decentralized.<p>This dance never happened with a Napster or a Popcorn Time - it was very clear what the decentralized utility was, and it was really a means to an end of getting to the content. But Bluesky doesn't have any content I want, especially not badly enough to jump through those hoops, or use like a B-version of the real thing. It's like building a new restaurant to compete with the best steakhouse in town but you focus on the trays instead of the food.
> Historically, all bluesky posts have been public. But there’s a world of interactions that are opened up when users can directly message each other.<p>Really? Who wold have thought of that? Tell me more about it, please.
