"I’m not on Bluesky and I don’t have any plans to join it anytime soon. I wrote about this in 2023: I will never again devote my energies to building up an audience on a platform whose management can sever my relationship to that audience at will
When a platform can hold the people you care about or rely upon hostage – when it can credibly threaten you with disconnection and exile – that platform can abuse you in lots of ways without losing your business. In other words, they can enshittify their service."
Lemmy is tribalistic by design, as is Mastodon. It’s the big problem with instance based federation.
I glad that the pubg protocol has such widespread adoption; i’d like to think that it gives a better than average chance that I can find a new platform after the diet reddit instances repeat history and enshitify lemmy and I hope our admins are able to see it coming to delay it or find work arounds/alternatives.
