@JuliusGoat Thanks for posting this.
It's a real-world, relatable to bloggers report of the process and why they CAN GET THE HELL OUT OF #Substack

@cwebber beyond me why people are still at #bluesky. It's the trap of tHIs tiME WilL be dIFFerEnT, I guess.
#ATProto is NOT an open API. Any parallel implementation still has to go through bluesky's servers.
They are still owned by #DTBO vulture capitalist cryptobro techbro billionaires, who have stated they will sell your data and info to LLM predatory enterprises.
Baffling, really.
Meanwhile, #AcitivityPub remains simple, #FOSS, inexpensive, truly decentralized.
Go figure.
This is #Ghost ( https://ghost.org/ )
It's an alternative to #substack
Substack supports, funds and enables the destruction of democracy, worldwide. The owners are pro-tRump and have donated to the "cause".
If you are still using #substack, you are adding to their wealth. Consider switching to ANYTHING ELSE

@jeffjarvis But here is a *crazy* notion:
Leave #LinkedIn
it's possible, feasible, desirable and helps everyone else, too. Staying at the nazi bar NEVER helps anyone, but the nazis.
Continued thread
For the dumdums out there, this means #bluesky isn't gonna be hosting any revolutions.
#DTBO #techbro #cryptobro owned Xitter-to-be.
REMINDER
The Revolution will NOT happen at any corporate-owned website.

@kottke isn't he betting on a vulture capitalist crypto tech bro owned #DTBO , which corrals people in a proprietary, walled garden twitter-to-be? AND wanted to gove them $30M to add to that proprietary, walled off garden trap?
Consider people's decision making as the weight of their judgement.
Just saying.

@remixtures AND owned by VC Crypto Billionaire Techbros!
It's another month, remember to help out with your #fediverse instance maintenance.
A literal couple of bucks thrown into the pool of funds helps. Most admins run their own instances as a voluntary act. If you enjoy being part of one, help keep it up.
The alternative is being a product at #DTBO corporate socmedia such as #bluesky #threads #xitter #facebook #linkedin #instagram and many others.
NOT being a product is worth a few bucks per year, really.

#bluesky #DTBO
Once again, for the people for whom immediate convenience trumps fixing a problem:
Posting an article with a critique and potential solutions for problems coming from plutocrat broligarch techbros running amok, destroying democracy, AND hosting it in #substack is too thick irony.
Stop sustaining those guys. Every time you click, open, or participate in #DTBO (douchebag techbro billionaire owned) socmedia, you give them money, and a platform.
There are several articles, by people who I know put forth good stuff, but unfortunately, they made a poor decision to publish them in #substack and I am not giving money, or clicks to #nazi #DTBO websites, owned by people who support and push for the demolition of democracy.
Not boosting anything from substack.
There are excellent and simpler, easier tools, some of them #FOSS, too. It's a CHOICE to remain in substack, or use #zoom, or others.

@GayDeceiver except he included #bluesky which is NOT federated or de-centralized, but a #DTBO run from a cluster of proprietary, non- #FOSS servers, owned by venture capitalist crypto techbros.
