All the poor artists and creators on Twitter.

Prior to today, you could opt out of having your posts used for AI / generative training. The new amended terms and conditions have made it impossible to do so.

Will this artist exodus make Blue$kkky better? probably not but it would be funny if it did

Real talk is Blue Sky a valid alternative? If not, are there any other replacements for twitter?

[–] thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net 14 points 2 months ago

its valid if you follow enough cool people that you only get their cool posts, otherwise its like if lemmy had only lemmyworld but with lib journalists.

There can be no valid alternative to Twitter because the Twitter format is fundamentally bad and always has been. It's just more obvious now with Elon heightening all its flaws but the unthreaded broadcast microblog with realnameposting was always a bad idea.

A subreddit is just a twitter account with crowd-submitted content and a better comments section. This extends to lemmy also.

The one thing Twitter had going for it was their algorithm which enabled tonnes of activism and journalistic content reach. Whether or not Bluesky succeeds will be determined by whether they can get institutional buy-in (news orgs and so on) which is what got Twitter to explode.
