And neither has shit for content.
So many questions in my mind…
If:
- Shit
As in literal shit, no, and lets try to keep it that way.
- Shit
As nohing of quality, that is absent everywhere. Go read a book, you’re better off. Support an online archive while you are at it. Save ebooks and other cultural media in an offline support and share ot with others
- Shit
As an indication of quantity, I disagree. There is plenty of shit to scroll through and pilling higher every second.
- Shit
As in all of the above… where can you even find that?
Tbf, Reddit does have an infinite shit generator, so long as you are okay with bot reposts.
And bluesky?
I haven’t been asked to give any weird permissions, I just needed an email address and password to sign up. I never used twitter or anything similar other than instagram but I gotta say I’m not too excited about bluesky so far. I signed up when I found out Elon was mad because people were leaving twitter for bluesky. I enjoy seeing Mark Hamill’s and George Takei’s posts, and the most recent JWST pics are awesome, but overall I’m not a big fan. Maybe the way I set it up is suboptimal? Idk, I probably already have enough things sucking away my time and attention.
both don’t have downvote buttons to help sort good/bad content
Thats what lemmy exists for… Not every platform needs voting. For microblogs, which usually represent and individual person, having voting would be a horrible idea because it would allow for brigading of small peoples platforms. With a few hundred people you could make sure that specific accounts or groups of people never reach “top”.
You can, but its not a platform built around individuals, so its harder or just less impactful to bully individuals. If you try to brigade a community, then you are immediately up against everyone that likes that community so its just a system thats more resistant to bullshit.
