Social Media
2 years ago
I've seen a lot of stuff going around about new social media sites to replace twitter (or whatever the hell it's call today). Frankly, Twitter always sucked for art, and from what I've seen all the replaces are the same, so I feel like nothing of value has been lost, but still. There has been some talk about Threads, but as that one is owned and run by Facebook I think it's safe to dismiss it completely as it will always be about selling your information and not about giving you any kind of service. Anyways, I don't think the company will be around in a decade, at least as anything other then a shell of what it once was.
The two main ones I've seen thrown about are Mastodon and Bluesky. Now for me Mastodon is that place where all the alt-right guys went when they got kicked off of every other site, and Bluesky, we'll any social media site that won't let you even look at it without an account is 100% useless for social media. And I don't trust any site that relies on FOMO as a reason to get an account, it means either they don't think their product is worthwhile, or scared what people will actually see on it. Either way it's a huge red flag in my eyes.
