Like I said, they're only rolling out all these new features in a desperate attempt to leech off Bsky's growing popularity. Mark and Adam can keep their Threads for all I freakin' care.
And the second they feel theyre winning the "battle", they'll reverse all the changes and say "based on feedback and analytics" we see customers want to see more promotional data. And than never share said data... because thats how monopolies work.
They had for you and following for long time, but hid the switch… but I think they might display Bluesky content inside threads, like they do with fediverse
this is by design, bluesky is open source and you can port your account to another 'server' and not lose any of your data including friends. so if bluesky is sold, its basically means everyone who does not like the new owner can just move, and boom whoever purchased it just lost 100% of their value
Sorry to burst this bubble but Bluesky is actually pretty centralized and account portability is becoming more and more unattainable, requiring enormous resources for a private relay. You can read up about this here: https://dustycloud.org/blog/how-decentralized-is-bluesky/
Who's going to run this mystical "another server". The oligarchs can buy the Bluesky team and just close it down out of spite and we will disperse. I am not going to be running servers from my wardrobe for people. It's a fantasy that the technology will save us.
"as always please keep the feedback coming," well mate you'd been getting this exact feedback pretty consistently for months. Somehow I don't think it's the feedback driving these changes... 😂
No they hid them away. It defaulted to like a discover page that was all algorithm and you had to search for your following page by like selecting the threads logo then you could switch to a following only feed.
What Zuck and Mosseri fail to recognize is that they’re not getting the Bluesky audience back. It’s not gonna happen. Threads is the place insta influencers go to post words instead of pictures. Maybe they should lean into that and embrace that.
