Bluesky has a far too insular/crybully reputation. Has largely prevented me from even exploring it.

Funny, but interesting, because: I think this means BlueSky is unlikely to attract advertisers anytime soon. Maybe political campaign advertising for left-leaning candidates but that's about it.

ah, didn't see that. ofc you're already on top of the news. 

jay has said a few times (most recently in a new yorker article) that she wants to avoid twitter's ad model, but not sure how revenue-generating bluesky can be without looking into it.

don’t love adobe’s subscription model vs. ownership, not sure anyone does.

feels childish though, if you actually believed in Bluesky the network you wouldn’t be chasing folks away but I guess it’s cathartic

I love adobe (biased for several reasons) but brands don’t have feelings + they are invasive species in human interactions

It’s hard to avoid Bluesky because of how many experts have gathered there but I fear it’s replicating the insular scold culture that I think fueled the rise of the populist right the user base so abhors in the first place

Not surprised. Bsky is the cringe content nucleus of the internet. If you were too soft for Reddit and too leftist for X, you end up there.

My thought is all the lame stuff happens on Bluesky and I hope it stays over there.

now: ecosystems @ /syndicate. then: started this thing called /fwb w/ my friends. also do a ton of music and media things. also mba from usc. constant.coffee

They vacuum up any and all innovative companies in the space (alongside autodesk) letting their products to stagnate and still dominate.

Their price jumps are astronomical.

Can’t say I feel bad for them

i use chatgpt more, but i think it'd be harder to cancel my adobe subscription 

every time i get the bill i think about that

Adobe deserves it at this point tbh. They have handled customer experience very poorly for years.

So interesting—I’m not on bluesky so I only know what I’ve heard from others  — but you’d think folks who ran from Twitter because of this type of behavior wouldn’t repeat it.

- expected but juvenile behavior from the community

- brands belong in the conversation 

we are jack’s complete lack of surprise

Social networks should be for people, not brands.

Where are my Adobe friends at, we love you

sad that they were bullied.  I haven’t been a fan since they went to a subscription model.    

I’ll note that I still use my adobe (and microsoft office) perpetual licenses

oh yikes 

i mean bullying is bad 

but their subscription model is also bad
