I’ve been spending time on Bluesky. I really quite like it. Mainly because what I’m interested in—all the musicians and creative people I admire—is readily-available, discoverability is decent, and the community engagement is present. Threads, I’ve yet to try, but I must say it has zero appeal to me, and I’m very familiar with Mastodon/ActivityPub communities. I also can’t stand Instagram (why I like Olas). As others are saying, talking about Bitcoin and Nostr all day is boring. To critique myself, even when I’m thinking about music here, it’s always with a v4v touch. “Setting up” over here is also really quite complicated. On Bluesky I instantly found my favourite bands, and they’re posting cool stuff I want to see. I’m wanting to check it more. My X usage continues to evaporate. Bluesky attracted normies and now it has a small network effect, because they don’t talk about Bluesky all day. No one there cares about what we care about over here, and that’s why it’s successful in attracting media & entertainment. It’s good to see things improving here, slowly. It’s definitely possible Bluesky dies, but the social media world has changed for good imo. We’re in the unbundling era. Communities will become smaller. Nostr needs to become cool. It’s too awesome, and it’s what I hope social media and the internet will be more “like”. Having all your friends and content come with you, wherever you go, is very cool. Look at me, part of the challenge, writing about Nostr on Nostr.
