I tried Bluesky before I found Lemmy. I really wanted to like it but after a few months I decided it wasn't for me. It's got a chicken-or-egg problem and you need to bring your own fanbase if want to have any interaction.
I never liked Twitter and don't feel it's a particularly good model for actual socializing. I think it was created back when people were still hacking together ideas, it sort of worked, and it hasn't changed much since.
It's great for disseminating stuff, terrible at creating space for discussion.
The founders seem like a bunch of young ultra-capitalists who sensed an opening in the market and are just shooting their shot. The app reflects this in subtle ways.
Yeah I just can't really get into any of the twitter like platforms.
The big problem is it's really hard to have a conversation you can reply to someone and they can reply to you but the UI does not lend itself well to having a multi-person conversation, so at the moment you try and involve more than two people it just becomes a mess.
Plus I cannot stand with the fact that when somebody quotes a comment their response is placed above the original quote. Meaning I always read them out of order and don't understand it until I remember that I need to read it bottom to top and now it makes sense.
Well said. It’s almost as bad as YouTube. At least twitter sort of has nesting (wherein yt doesn’t), but it’s still just about impossible to comprehend when 3 or more people are conversing.
