I feel like my twitter feed has gotten worse lately and a lot of accounts I follow have made the move over there.
I am so set in my doom scrolling ways tho.

    Good in that it has reached a critical mass of good people to follow? Probably.

    But its enshittification has already began. It’s let crypto firms on to its board and taken their money. They’re looking at introducing personalized ads and having a subscription service to begin the slow process of stopping the VC cash bleeding.

    Because it’s not truly decentralized, everything still runs through the main Bluesky servers, this type of enshittification will affect the whole user base.

        Someone reached out to libsky support about that. It’s because many of them share their gofundme links because they have to resort to begging for their lives to strangers on the internet. But rampant link sharing like that triggered their spam filters.

        So, I can understand why the libsky algorithm flagged their accounts, but I don’t know if they actually did anything to address that problem.

          I’ve been followed by like 10 accounts with profiles like this out of nowhere and I couldn’t tell if they were actual people or scammers taking advantage of the situation. They haven’t messaged me or anything but practically their whole timeline is asking for support. Sad situation either way.

          here’s the link to ask them. (i’m not on twitter so i can’t do it myself))

          Bluesky is apparently deleting the accounts of Palestinians in Gaza under the guise of “spam.” Requests to correct this have so far gone unanswered. https://t.co/vbBfz8TFL2 pic.twitter.com/X4o7OifWlh
