    Bluesky is definitely quite different. I’m a fairly centre kind of person, maybe a bit left leaning in a lot of ways, but bluesky is definitely attracting a lot of extreme left users. I mean it’s not like that’s a totally bad thing, I’d rather deal with extreme left than extreme right any day of the week, and I still hope the platform is successful. I just don’t find myself using it that much because most of the content is a bit over the top. Also it’s owned by Mormon backed private equity, so there’s that too…big fan of federation social media these days.

      I have a similar problem with Nostr.

      It’s a fantastic specification, and I want to build so many things with it, but the community is absolutely flooded with the most embarrassing cryptocurrency people. I am not a cryptocurrency hater, but boy are those people tiresome. If anyone would talk about anything else, it might have a chance, but if you filter the cryptobros, it’s a content desert.

    Some decent comments on hackernews, though the post itself is [flagged].
