The Weird, Fragmented World of Social Media After Twitter

> The weirdos, early adopters, shitposters, furries, and scolds are trying out Bluesky [..] A handful of disgruntled tweeters tried Post and Mastodon, but the first is a graveyard, and the second is an obstacle course for non-techie users.

Slightly weird take, in that Mastodon is far bigger than Bluesky, user-wise. Generally feels like they're giving a lot of importance to Bluesky vs Threads and Mastodon, which I suppose maybe if you have been the most-blocked person on Bluesky is only natural. The general thesis is probably correct, though; Twitter's monopoly on this sort of network is now broken.

Oh, wow, didn't realise there was an actual term for these people. Just the worst.
