    Oh, indeed. Ideal would be FOSS, but if people can already stop using the US Big Tech that’s still something.

    Like people leaving Twitter for Bluesky

            Yet Musk manages to limbo underneath.

            Oh, who am I kidding, he couldn’t hit the bar doing his feeble attempt at a jumping jack.

          Still, it’s run by a large American tech company and has a federation model that makes self-hosting and true decentralization somewhere between difficult and impossible.

      The alternative for Tw!ter is Mastodon. Bsky’s business model is based on growth, it will be sold for billions to the highest bidder once there are sufficient subscribers locked in.
