Yeah, Bluesky isn’t decentralised, it just wants you to believe it is. It is an illusion.

While keeping my account active, I got rid of the Threads application on my mobile device, as a first step. Really tired to fine tunning notifications and still getting them, seemingly randomly, for things, or people I don’t know. Next step is to delete the account—which will also close my dormant Instagram.
me socialI am going to disconnect from the Fediverse next. I figure that will make me an online anti-social, no? It is the last social media in which I participate mostly as a lurker, with some ocassional posts, and replies. Yet, I have found my very few interactions to be often missunderstood. Again, it could be a me problem, so better take it out.
socialOK, so I created an Instagram account, so I could try Threads, and this that Claud wrote about was the first thing I noticed. Who are those people on my timeline, or whatever Threads calls it?!
socialPretty funny way to take a stab at Musk’s Twitter’s idiotic rate limiting self-destructing measures.
I got an invite to Bluesky, and signed up. It reaffirmed my realisation: social media in general isn’t worth it. The same people following the same people. And I truly don’t know any of them. The same topics, the same memes. It is boring, unappealing, tiresome.
