The Sex Pests On Bluesky are Gross!
I’m not going to lie—it’s really gross, annoying, and disturbing how many sex pests are on Bluesky. The fact that it’s so normalized in the culture over there is pretty repulsive. Welp, Twitter is just like that, so am I surprised? Nope!
Discord, Reddit, and Bluesky Cater to Sociopaths
Now that I’m back in the fediverse, I’m convinced that people who choose platforms with the culture of Twitter or Bluesky do so because they’re expected to conform to basic norms in the fediverse. I think there is a tacit understanding that behaving the way they do on Discord, Reddit, Bluesky, or Twitter will likely […]
Social Media is Filled With Propaganda and Influence Campaigns
Lord, I’m so happy I heavily, heavily filter my content and mostly consume things from RSS feeds, because most media sources are a fire hose of nonstop propaganda. You can inform without trying to persuade or influence. Most media is presented in a way meant to influence my attitude or elicit emotions instead of providing […]
BlueSky Is A Platform For Attention Whores With No Standards
I’m convinced that Bluesky is the platform for attention-whores who perform and humiliate themselves for validation and affirmation. It’s really sad. I don’t feel bad when bad things happen to them as a consequence because they were already warned, yet they prioritize fitting into a culture and refuse to deal with their feelings of inadequacy. […]
So Much Bull Shit on Bluesky
Lord, there is so much bullshit and outright lies on Bluesky. No, I am not talking about political stuff. I am talking about social media influencers trauma-dumping to justify shilling their shitty products, art, or writing. I’ll take insufferable nerds on Mastodon over borderline narcissists on Bluesky any day.
Please Don’t Share Your Job History on BlueSky
Lord, people don’t think. It is well established that ICE is on Bluesky, and anyone who understands the protocol basically understands that the entire thing is wide open. I am not even on Bluesky, for example, but I can see an insane trend. There is a trend going on where a person says, ‘Five jobs […]
People Don’t Know How to Actually Have Conversations on Social Media
I think the major breakdown with microblogging is that people don’t actually want to have conversations. I honestly don’t know what the fuck people want, but they don’t want to have dialogues with people—that’s for certain. Microblogging is a format that was specifically designed around how dialogue works. You say something, a person responds, and […]
I am So Tired Of The Bitching About Mastodon; Use Different Software
@faraiwe Dear god, do you do anything but constantly bitch?! Why are you even on social media if you hate it so fucking much?! A little bit about me. I am a Computer Scientist and I have recently had contracts for developing apps for both the AT protocol and The Activitypub protocol. I am saying […]
If You’re On Mastodon You Probably Do Not Want to Be Indexed By Search Engines
@literalgrill @dfx4509b I am just going to point out this setting right here: That setting exists because most users on the fediverse do not want to be included in search results. Secondly, the fediverse has its own database. If you are someone who enjoys image board cultures with a Neocities vibe and you want to […]
I Feel Relieved During The Seasons Where Social Media Burns
With the rise in censorship, technical problems, and glitches on TikTok following its recent management change, I often feel a morbid sense of happiness during moments when social media platforms seem to go up in flames all at once. These disruptions to the scheduled program of doom-scrolling give me a concrete justification to cut back […]
