Ever wonder what an algorithm would do on a quest for the Holy Grail of social media? Meet Jay Graber, the head honcho of Bluesky, who’s trying to create a social platform that doesn’t make you want to toss your phone into the nearest lake. In a recent profile by The New Yorker, there’s quite a bit to chew on regarding Graber’s vision for a nontoxic online environment.
But wait, there’s a twist! Apparently, Graber and Mastodon’s founder, Eugen Rochko, had a little rendezvous to chat about interoperability. You know, like two rival superhero teams plotting to work together, but instead of joining forces, they’re more interested in turning the other into a sidekick! Kyle Chayka, the author, hilariously notes that the meeting felt a bit unproductive; it was like two chefs arguing over who gets to use the better kitchen.
In a world where social media often feels like a dumpster fire, can Bluesky actually bring us some goodwill or is it just another white-knuckled ride on the social media rollercoaster? Only time will tell!
So, are we excited for the next big thing in social media? Or do we keep scrolling through the same old chaos? Let’s hear your thoughts.
