    Maybe drop a platform owned by a modern-day facist who keeps using your tweets to train his attempt and cyberdyne?

    Mastodon and BlueSky are right there.

      Anyone leaving Twitter or any other corpo service should not go to BlueSky. That’s the same shit waiting to happen/

        I’ll leave Bluesky when it happens, don’t worry. Until then it’s a pretty cool place so far. 👍

        Bsky markets with being decentralised while being not. I mean people can have their own data servers but because of DIDs moderation and other things go back in the hands of the company behind it.
        Another red flag is that a main investor is crypto bros and that the ceo or something is crypto friendly but they gave promises not to shove crypto currency up their users.

        Is it worth using?
        If you use mastodon + bridgy i dont think so
        If you want to use it because all your friends are using it: i wont stop you but thats what bridgy is there for
        If you dont like platforms where a significant amount is a linux user: then maybe bsky is better

        and a + of bsky is that users can make their own algorithms i think easily and that those can get shared.

          At least one interoperable PDS has come online, and the network later folks seem entirely aware of the single point of failure that their “firehouse” model suffers from. More importantly, their entire value proposition isnt “were not Twitter”, but rather “if we become evil you should be able to pack up and go elsewhere.”

          It’s fashionable on Lemmy to bash Bsky, but the difference really is comparable to the old GNU Hurd project vs Linux. The two most successful FOSS systems ever (Linux and git) took a sucess-first, share-later model while an opinionated actor in charge. I dont mean to argue that this is philosophically better or appropriate for all projects, just that there’s precedent for FOSS starting less open than it eventually becomes.
