What is the advantage of Bluesky's model over Xitter? Are they just outsourcing servers while still holding censorship and manipulation power?

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 3 days ago

As I see it the only advantage is that it is not run by Elon Musk.

And by 'advantage' I mean the 'advantage' of using a corporate product that, so far, is doing its best to drive people away from an actually censorship resistant Fediverse, using inclusive rainbow capitalist language to lure in the large majority of people who are not tech savvy enough to realize they are basically lying to / misleading them.

Twitter could not be federated, Bluesky could be but only at massive cost, so it probably won't be

Xitter

My first time seeing this and I love it. I'm going to assume its pronounced 'shitter' and you can't convince me otherwise if its not.

[–] oakward@feddit.org 4 points 3 days ago

I saw it somewhere and it just sticks. I assumed that pronunciation as well

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 1 points 2 days ago

That is indeed the intended pronunciation.
