All the recent stuff over on Bluesky about them refusing to ban Jesse Singal from the platform, in spite of all the protestations from the trans users that made Bluesky what it is, makes me feel that I was right first time back in 2022: that profit-driven social media is always going to turn out this way, and maybe the Fediverse really is the way ahead for us, despite its many flaws
One such flaw is that I strongly think that Mastodon should support quote posts, they really are useful for things outside of pile-ons and dunking (which decent moderation should be able to deal with anyway) and one of the things that I prefer about Bluesky
On the other hand, Bluesky *still* doesn’t support making your posts private, which is kinda fucked
