When I looked at bsky it seemed to be about 60% pointing out stupid shit that Trumpists have recently said and done, and 30% self-congratulatory talk about how popular bluesky is this week.

TBF, Mastodon was the same when I joined. I just muted all mention of “mastodon” + variations, Bob’s your uncle. Navel gazing meta discourse is the least exciting updates on any platform.
It is still funny to visit random egg profiles on there and see they only tooted once, two years ago, saying “so this is mastodon, wonder how this works” and then never again.

Lemmy was like this too
Oh, still is.
“Lemmy is terrible!”
“Have you tried kbin?”
“kbin isn’t developed, try mbin”
“I tried mbin, but piefed is better”
“I only use the comments section of federated Wordpress blogs, by email”
“Zomg you guys, somebody launched qbin”
Yes and lots of quips in meme text format. I didn’t really enjoy it, but it was better than what has become of Twitter.
