Bluesky users on Android now have access to a new app that works more like Instagram than X. On Tuesday, an app called Pinksky launched an Android version
I dislike bluesky. This app is built on bluesky and therefore I can lump it in with bluesky.
Since bluesky is a centrally controlled for profit platform. It will eventually close its doors to projects like pinksky once it gets big enough. So what is to celebrate?
Not really. The above person said I hate lone developers building their own apps. No, I just dont care unless its on a platform that aligns with my ideals.
I dont see any valve in apps built that help transition people into another corporate social media ecosystem. In 5 years bluesky will make the same userhostile choices of facebook, reddit, instagram, twitter.
Given how things are going, I bet you’re right. Maybe Musk will create a Bluesky instance (or whatever that federalized yet centralized thing is called).
Lemmy is based off of reddit, so fuck Lemmy right?
Japans constitution is based off of the US Constitution, so fuck Japan right?
The Space Program is built off of rockets that were used to kill people, so fuck the Saturn V, right?
Canada is based off of the British so fuck Canada, right?
Nuclear energy came from Nuclear weapons, so fuck Nuclear energy, right?
Chemotherapy came from Mustard Gas, so fuck chemotherapy, right?
I’m guessing no to all of those and the 30 others I can spit out because you’ve got little arguments built up for each one, but here’s the problem. You have to make arguments for each one because your entire stance is nonsense. It’s just “I before E comes after C.” Is it accurate for some things? Yes. Is it accurate for the majority? Absolutely not.
So, yes really. It is a truly insane way to live that is reductive, immature and just openly ignorant about how the world works. You have a one track mind that is so focused on hating something that you utterly and openly reject everything that comes after, regardless of how it might be different. At least, that is what you are saying if you say you reject everything based off of a bad thing. That is helpful for literally no one. Personally? I’d recommend coming at it from a mature angle and actually judging it based on what it is. To not ignore the past, but to also not ignore the future either. You have just decided to paint everything black and white. Grey exists too.
I’m not continuing this because you do not seem to be interested in anything other than the rut-stance you’ve chosen for yourself.
The person you are replying to is talking about pink sky being built on bluesky, and you equate that to Lemmy being based on Reddit.
One is a hard technical dependency, and the other is a conceptual inspiration.
You are engaging in an equivocation fallacy, and I think you know that. You even try to sneak it in by switching to a different but similar word (built->based) with a different meaning, then you switched back again to “built” while using the term in the same way you used “based”, then you start using other phrasing to obscure it even more. You are gaslighting with word games to try and get people to not notice your fallacy. It’s super dishonest.
