"Innovation over Twitter" is what I said.

I think ActivityPub and Mastodon are alright, but I think a thing that looks and behaves more like Twitter will be more successful at succeeding it than something that doesn't.

I get that Mastodon people are salty about Bluesky. Personally I was hoping Elon Musk buying Twitter would be taking the Jenga piece that collapses the social media tower. But this is how nerds vs capitalists goes, unfortunately, and my evidence is all the walled gardens that sprung up in the fertile pre-web-2.0 internet.

Being the second to do something (without significant improvement) isn't what I could consider innovative by any definition I know. Mastodon already did the things you listed. Can you clarify what you mean? It sounds like you expect Bluesky to do what Mastodon already did, but better somehow.

I think the miscommunication here is that you think I'm talking about Mastodon at all.

Edit: cool music btw! I like the sophistication of your percussion.
