RE
If only there was a distributed #socialmedia network

I see what you're doing, you're referring to #mastodon
joinmastodon.org/

I fine it extremely strange why MOST professional news media stars DONT CHECT OUT Mastodon?
(except for #velshi @velshi)

Maybe one reason is many posts have ZERO TAGS?

So, following a TAG, will not work as well as Bluesky or Threads?

Pls, let's add TAGS, might help

🇬🇧 I don't see the need to put a bridge between #Bluesky and #Mastodon. If you want to be on both then be on both or choose one. This makes life difficult, because the synchronization mostly works purely, and interaction is hampered.

🇵🇱 Nie widzę potrzeby stawiania mostu pomiędzy Bluesky i Mastodon. Jak chcesz być na obu to bądź na obu albo wybierz jedno. To utrudnia życie, bo synchronizacja przeważnie działa średnio, a interakcja jest utrudniona.

I think folks migrating to bluesky are celebrities and journalist-celebs. And the people who want to hob nob with them. But I am sick of our American perverse celebrity culture for, among other things, giving us Trump. So I'm happy here where I get good information, and people are generally cool, and I don't have to worry about decamping to yet another platform when the current owners of bluesky inevitably sell to another rotten oligarch.

As an Australian, one of the best aspects of the 'Toots - unlike all those other old social media platforms - is it isn't US centric.

We're not 'Oceania', lumped in with Americans on their centralised platform, drowning in United States bullshit.

And as a fierce critic of the so-called alliance, find it liberating. No need to be delicate or placate or deal with a bunch of inherently fucked arguments and assumptions whenever making a post.

It's nice. It's really nice.

Why don't people abandon X for the Fedi, and why don't people abandon Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox for Duck Duck Go?
Seriously, I couldn't' be happier here, not being tracked, having algo tracks blocked, and having a great experience with very few trolls and and assholes.
What's not to like?
