Hey fellow HN enthusiasts!

I'm looking to expand my Bluesky feed with accounts that share interesting, tech-related content, similar to what we discuss here on HN.

I see a lot of people on Mastodon posting jokes about Twitter users moving to another centralised and venture capital-backed platform, like that "this time it will be different for sure!". I haven't read up on it myself so don't know what to think. Can someone burst my bubble on this?

Edit: saw a lot of valid responses, thanks! My question is answered and I might sign up on bsky as well if I get bored on Mastodon or want to connect with someone there :)

I think it’s mistaken. You can run your own bluesky server, I’m meaning to get around to it but seems fairly straight forward:

When I tried to install mastodon it downloaded literally hundreds of random dependencies, there was no way I could verify the security of it. Real shitshow imho.

The full thread has a lot of speculation without basis in fact (eg why a given VC decided to invest in bsky), and the primary technical argument involves some theoretical issues vis-a-vis rebuilding the network if 25%+ of users decide to migrate out.

I don’t put that much stock in such critiques when a project is still evolving, learning lessons, and most importantly growing.

Most of the complaints coming from the mastodon crowd feel more like emacs vs vim “debates” of yesteryear.
