It seems like if the masses aren’t swarming to it, it’s dead. I don’t think a massive audience ever equated to better conversations and content. Especially in our engagement economy. It seems to just dumb everything down and restarts Eternal September. I think Mastodon is on the right track. It feels closer to the early web to me and I think part of that is the fact out isn’t an everyday term like Twitter but it’s also how it’s architected. Albeit it is still short form content so had all of the problems that come with it.

Bluesky and Mastadon supply a place, separate from the toxicity of "attempted narrative control" Labeling Bluesky as toxic, is an irony beyond the pale, but... it'll float with that ecosystem, where everything is transactional and a "better crafted lie" is the endless goal.
