Certainly, this aligns closely with the stance I express in a blog post scheduled for publication on Medium today in opposition to BlueSky. Users will likely be disheartened when BlueSky essentially replicates the characteristics of 2019-2020 Twitter. Ads suck. Centralization sucks. Millionaires and billionaires running these platforms for profit suck.
I’m a blog writer, and sometimes I take things a bit too seriously. I am not being sarcastic, nor am I using AI. 😅
BlueSky can be bought and influenced. No thanks.
I was addicted to IG, getting off that platform was a blessing.
In an ever-evolving digital landscape, I am thrilled to immerse myself in the liberating experience of using decentralized platforms like Mastodon, Lemmy, and Pixelfed. Freed from the constraints of centralized social media, I have embarked on a transformative journey. Recognizing the excessive time once consumed by my phone—nearly ten hours a day—I have successfully halved this to around five hours daily, allowing for a healthier balance, with a slight indulgence during weekends.
My commitment to this shift is further evidenced by my conscious decision over the past two years to bid farewell to major platforms such as Twitter and Tumblr. More recently, I have cut ties with Instagram, Facebook, BlueSky, Reddit, and even Snapchat.
In an effort to further champion these alternative platforms and their communities, I am proud to contribute by donating to Mastodon. This initiative not only represents a personal commitment but also an investment in the growth and resilience of decentralized social networks, encouraging more people to explore the boundless opportunities they offer.
The fediverse is winning.

I can guarantee you that half of Trump supporters will regret him by 2026.
I got accepted on Loops before Pixelfed
I’m still not on Pixelfed! I give up.
I’m gonna give it a second try
I absolutely love For All Mankind. Such a great show, although it has been lacking in terms of intensity in recent seasons
My current job, we test products with these cables, we are required to screw in both when plugging it in, so both.
Definitely better than the past 4 games.
God. I remember how excited I was for Starfield, only to be so disappointed.
I have two modes:
