I've never liked Twitter (as a platform, never mind the content), and Bsky copies a lot of the things I don't like, but I'd happily use it if it became the consensus FB replacement.
Hmm, I see messaging and groups as things that could be handled by a separate app. Though I may use groups differently than most. I think friends-only is supposed to be happening soon. Not sure about long posts, which I see as pretty vital.
What about Bluesky? It seems to have a lot of momentum, and I've heard they're working on the most important missing features for using it as a Facebook replacement.
Maybe this was inevitable, since (1) "everyone else is doing it" and (2) employees probably feel like they have a lot less leverage than they did in 2018... but the timing is terrifying.
If you upload an animated GIF to Bluesky, it animates as you're creating the post, but then it just shows a single frame in the feed. So this is a video clip that I have turned into a GIF, not the GIF itself.
