I agree but I think there's potential for celebrity owned and managed federated instances.
Twitter doesn't really give handlers the tools to manage their celebrity client, otherwise we would have seen things with Trump go very differently.
An owned and managed instance can invest heavily into moderation and image cultivation in ways that Facebook and Twitter will never provide.
The whole thing with Wil Wheaton on mastodon.cloud was a good example of what goes wrong, however.
- riffic 6y agoI'd really like to see Twitter white-label their app as a managed SaaS on custom domains. Perhaps that's what Bluesky is intended to be.
- TheJoYo 6y agoI don't have much hope for Bluesky. Twitter could re-enable RSS if they really wanted to show that their interest was genuine.
- riffic 6y ago> I don't have much hope for Bluesky. me neither. I think, based on Twitter's track record, people should remain skeptical until shown otherwise. They haven't delivered much to prove they're willing to do the right thing.
