how the hell do people find bluesky tolerable to use

  • miserably small character limit
  • including for bio
  • no post edit
  • no post visibility options
  • no formatting
  • no theming
  • no custom emojis
  • god awful boring ahh layout
  • apparently no hashtags

@EeveeEuphoria @sirlan i tried using threads and unless youre american and really like celebrities (because thats all the timeline is by default) or already found people through instagram (which confusingly DOES have hashtags), iiiiits hopeless!!!

social networking isnt about finding friends and socialising anymore, its about seeing what rich "people" (who are very edible) are pretending to do this evening, definitely not engineering their every post specifically to get as many interactions as possible ;D

i think we all know why fedi exists and is so much better huh

@alfie @sirlan @EeveeEuphoria Threads is actually worse than either because posting on there is like with a gun to your head being held by Zucc every time you try to type something. I have yet to try BlueSky yet, and I am scared of it.

I opened up the recommended accounts section and literally all of them were staff for Bluesky. It's like, follow the CEO, follow this dev, follow this person working on AT Protocol. um, I decline thank you

@sirlan Not having custom emojis has legitimately become a deal breaker for me since I joined fedi
