So I'm seeing some random artists, mostly leftists, making a bluesky account - something about X using their data for their AI or some shit.
It was always in the fucking TOS but somehow they're surprised that it's being openly disclosed? What the fuck is going on? Someone give me the lowdown.
The whole thing is the biggest clown fiesta. Just off the top of my head...
Bluesky also has no ability to disable retweets (or whatever they call them), so if you follow more than ten people, your feed becomes unusable. The average retweet-to-OC ratio is what, 15:1? Artists are especially bad about this, because they are literally too retarded and too narcissistic to realize that they're sharing their followers' feeds.
It's also far less forgiving than Twitter with reprocessing images. Twitter is a bit bipolar and will occasionally rape an image down to ~100 kb, but for the most part is okay. Bluesky will literally always compress your filesize by 50-75%, even if the original image is just a few hundred kb, and it will resize images so that it's no larger than 2000 px on its longest side.
It also doesn't even have video support. I keep track of Bluesky's development cause it brings me joy to watch the feds' abandoned, worn-out whores flail about to make their own even gayer Twitter, and they didn't even get private messaging until May. These fags implemented hiding replies before they added custom gif support (they got Tenor though!)
Artists choosing to chain themselves to Bluesky brings me great joy. I cannot wait to read the whining about how bad their metrics are.
At least the smart ones are staying on Twitter and only opened a Bluesky account as a backup or to hedge their bets.
