I just received my invite code today and took a quick look around the app. Like Mastodon I do not prefer microblogging platforms. And that's all I know about Bluesky.

So, what can you tell me about this project?

Came here to comment this. Spot on.

We should use Mastodon instead.

I wanted to like Mastodon but couldn't. The only reason I used microblogging services like Twitter was to shitpost about Vampire: The Masquerade. Said game includes lots of death, blood, and other topics that make some folks uncomfortable. On Twitter, the atmosphere was very "don't like, don't read", but Mastodon has an intense culture about using content warnings on anything that might make someone marginally uncomfortable. I'm cool with that, but I can't do it on my shitposting or it sort of ruins the joke. Bluesky doesn't have that atmosphere.

I know folks usually skew that way but it’s server to server. Frankly, I don’t use any warnings because I can’t be bothered and my instance is fine with it.

That misunderstanding proves how we need to review the user experience of federated projects, or at least do a much better job of explaining it to everyone.

Spot on. I do understand that there's a bit of difficulty to it considering its a fairly significant paradigm shift from where we were.

Did you try it this time last year?

When everyone migrated there were a lot of "helpful" newbies enforcing rules that simply don't exist. There are too many people like that still but not so many you can't mute them all.
