I mentioned Prince Alwaleed two weeks ago, and many of Twitter's biggest cheerleaders took acception:

"Prince Alwaleed is a good guy! He's misunderstood! MBZ put him in prison! You're an Islamophobe for criticizing this billionaire!"

Just a reminder that Twitter perceives the Fediverse as a threat, and their project Blue Sky is actively spreading FUD about ActivityPub on their website. blueskyweb.xyz/blog/3-6-2022-a

@atomicpoet they've been blabbing about BlueSky for 2.5 years with nothing to show for it. Plus, what they are ostensibly trying to do (decentralized protocol) is directly opposed to their business model (centralized walled garden).

BlueSky is a FUD project, entirely.

It started as a test. I wanted to see the efficacy of starting up a Fediverse instance that wasn't based on Mastodon. I chose @pixelfed because I liked @dansup's vision, and it filled a gap -- I don't have an Instagram account.

Reading about Elon Musk's hostile takeover of Twitter 🍿

To me, it's two authoritarians battling for control of the public square.

Meanwhile, I'm here on the Fediverse, chilling on a platform out of their reach 😏
