Every company have always oversell their own products. This is not new.

Coca Cola is also just a carbonated sweet drink and it’s being sold as happiness, socialization and the meaning of Christmas in a bottle.

Companies oversell, it’s called marketing. It’s shit practice but it’s not nothing new.

It open the gates for open source development, as the social media we are right now.

It’s pretty obvious that they will hit a ceiling.

Bluesky have two things over Mastodon:

-Money for a big marketing campaign, and reaching famous people.

-A better first comer UX.

First one is hard to solve. But UX in Mastodon should be solved. Local and federated feeds are useless, specially on the “default” .social instance. They need to find a way for new users to be able to see a relevant feed of toots and to have an easier time finding people they’d like to interact with.

It is a solvable problem, I hope someday it could be done.

Link your account to some bot posting gibberish every 10 minutes. For maximum damage.

Why people cannot see that the core problem of twitter is not that it got bought by the asshole billionaire. It’s that the asshole billionaire was able to buy it.
