'backed by mountains of bodies'

is what I read initially...

Look I'm not saying you're wrong in your assessment of global affairs, but believe me when I say that there is more to life than that. I'd advise you to spend some time each day looking at the world at a different scale than that, for example the life of insects, or the world of classical music or mathematics. Perhaps pick up an interest from your childhood. We're not dead yet! It may also be advisable to see a doctor and tell them about your wanting to spend all your time in bed and your panic attacks while smoking. Hope you feel better.

good point, but how active are those 2 Million users on Bluesky counted? Even the daily active user count is said to be 2 orders of magnitude more than Bluesky. That's a lot of people with a very wide range of interests, political leanings and priorities. Most of them have never heard of federated networks and won't be interested unless their favourite celebrity, jounalist, politician or you name it moves to a platform that just so happens to be federated. By all means, build bridges, but I don't have the solutions.

I believe Twitter still has hundreds of millions monthly active users. That's tough competition.

My question is: are 2020's kids even gonna be upset?

Ok. I'd be interested to know how Bluesky compares in size to Twitter.

I'm not familiar with Bluesky so I don't know the answer to that. But I don't think any entity can just 'take all the celebs & public figures'. They are unlikely to move unless they think it's an advantage to themselves or their organisation.

Someone recently told me this anecdote:

I overheard on the train home two middle aged ladies talking about their kids mobilephones.

One was saying how they dragged their teen and their mobile phone to the iphone store so they could setup the location tracker and "quiet mode" (parent phone can completly disable the teens phone), and how their child was upset but they are glad it was done.

The other lady was asking how she to can do the same.

Twitter is a celebrities' and public persons' playground. As well as organisations. Anyone else is on there either to gain prominence or to follow the prominent accounts. Until there's a suitable fediverse platform that appears as an advantage to those big names, nothing's gonna change on that front. In spite of all the censorship and cancellations.

the feeling of not being spied on 24-7

Het begon op 12 Julie 2007 met Collateral Murder waar een VS helicopter een groep mannen fataal beschoten heefd inclusief 2 mediawerkers van Reuters Namir en Saeed, en nogeens op de gewonde Saeed. Het begon toen de VS besloot deze moorden geheim te houden en erover te liegen. Het begon met WikiLeaks hun publikatie van de video, van Chelsea Manning's lek uit het Amerikaanse militair.

let's see, it's not exposing torture and war crimes in the press, so... 6 months?
