Do I like the idea of having to join a platform like Bluesky to engage with my people online. No. Hell no. I actually fucking hate it.
But I’m a community person that has empathy for people that do not have my skills and experiences who are just trying to find a place to kick it on a web filled with corporate platforms and open source projects run and maintained by virulent bigots.
So, I’m going to practice a bit of humility and go to where the people so I can listen and learn about what people need to pull them away from platforms we all know are bad in the long run.
The fedi has famously had a lack of empathy for people that are not in tech, which is one of the core reasons people are going to Bluesky.
Yes, there a plenty of great ideas and theories in the fedi, but until they are put into action in a way that is accessible for non tech nerds, the Blueskys of social media are going to win. Period.
And telling people they are wrong for making that decision when there is no open source platform that gives them the experience they want is the kind of arrogance that kills possibilities from happening.
