I’ve been saying this for years, that people are foolish if there’s only one social media platform where they say something or publish important information. But even among the people who’ve heard me, most have never listened to me. I think mainly because people fall in love with a platform, they are habit forming. They like the feedback they get on the social media platform, but not the work involved with actually disseminating information. I can’t say I blame people for that, but it is a problem.
Selling followers where the skies are blue Sketchy follower sales sites are (unsurprisingly) expanding to Bluesky Conspirador Norteño Jan 24, 2025 As Bluesky approaches the 30 million user mark, operators of services that sell bogus social media engagement have been escalating their attempts to take advantage of the relatively new platform’s increasing popularity. Purveyors of bogus follows, likes, and shares require large armies of accounts in order to ply their trade, and these accounts can often be detected by their behavior.
The troll farms and other problems from twitter have fully moved on the watering hole that is bluesky, and it has all the problems. Facebook is a mess, not that it was ever good. It looks like Tiktok made a deal to become another TrumpSocial.
Don’t pick just one hook for your hat, don’t fall in love with a platform, or put all your eggs in one basket.
