I can't believe I have to say this, but there is something I have to say.
#Mastodon users.
(actually, #FEDIVERSE USERS IN GENERAL)
It's time to stop harassing #Bluesky users and its developers.
I even heard that the devs of #Bridgy have been (ALLEGEDLY) receiving an endless number of insults and potentially death threats.
It's worth mentioning that Bridgy isn't even owned or even (probably) endorsed by Bluesky. They are two separate projects.
They have lives. We have lives. They have important things to do outside of developing #decentralized projects or even contributing to the protocol itself, or maybe even other side-projects that they are developing as we speak.
I'm tired of seeing the drama surrounding Bluesky on mastodon, and I wish everyone had moved on from it, but perhaps not.
It's like the Blue and Green Message bubble debate all over again, and it's very disgusting, and it's a shitshow that I'm sure nobody asked for. I'm pretty sure that this is also putting bad press on the fediverse project, and i don't think anyone wants to deal with that shit.
So what is the solution?
If you can't say something nice about bluesky users, let alone mastodon (or even fediverse) users, because they use an app that you don't like, leave them alone.
