"Bluesky and Threads showed us very different visions for a post-X future"

Well, not really "very different". Nobody is talking about the truly different social media - The Fediverse and Mastodon, that is.

Bluesky and Threads showed us very different visions for a post-X future

Threads and Blueksy may share some of the same goals, but they’ve shown very different visions for how text-based social networks should operate.

It never ceases to amaze me when people on commercial platforms are surprised about said platforms getting enshittified by dumb decisions, billionaires or AI for example. The outrage and amazement sparkles up comments like "Guess we have to live without social media in the future" or "guess we need to move on to <another commercial platform here>" or "guess we have no choice". Right, if you say so. Guess it is what it is, then?

🍎 #SocialMedia is part of your daily diet - so why not make it healthy?

Corporate platforms feed you ads, algorithms, and infinite scroll designed to keep you hooked on junk food. The #Fediverse is different:

✅ No ads, no algorithms
✅ Real communities run by real people
✅ Diverse cultures and positive content

Stop feeding on junk. Switch to something organic: JoinMastodon.org
