Curious on how it will win over the majority of people who do not understand words such as ”decentralised”, and are mostly confused by their ”long username” in their bio.

FYI, I checked Musk’s bullshit “petition” site. It’s a data mining operation. You can just put anything in the fields, there is no check. We can poison the entire data set SUPER EASILY. Just pick a zip code in the suburb of Philadelphia or Pittsburgh and write bullshit:

Bluesky has the best blocking experience of any social media, hands down. When you block someone, all your interaction goes away, so all the effort jerks put into trolling goes away as well. They hate that. Also, I block quicker and more dispassionately here, so my "chud" experience here is minimal.

Once again, potentially the coolest thing about Bluesky/ATprotocol is that they've built a system that on the front end *feels* just like old Twitter. But underneath the hood is built to give you way, way more freedom. Paul's thread explains just one part of that.
