You have to understand we are not normal users. Anyone even remotely interested in federated software are not normal users.

Bluesky may not have 57 third party apps and that’s why people are flocking to it. It’s easy. The signup process through the app involved no selecting of servers, no understanding of what it actually is under the hood, and users are greeted by a default algorithm that feels very much like old Twitter before Musk.

Basically, regular users do not care about the fediverse and just want a competent and polished app and site experience.

Ha! Same thought at pretty much the same time. Good to see you fellow elder.

The switch from NiCad to the mass adoption of LiPo was pretty revolutionary in my eyes. That might just be me showing my age though 😅

Mac for me. Occasionally on the iPad, but I rarely use my iPad for actual work that needs multitasking.

It has become my default desktop experience. I don’t know how to describe why I like it, it just works for me and I leave it on 100% of the time.

iMessage is the iPhone’s default texting app. It comes preinstalled on all their phones.

I had that same model, but the U2 edition. I had no idea who U2 was at the time, but I loved the black and red color scheme.

It had a whole 20GB which I never managed to come close to filling! I wasn’t cool enough to sail the high seas at that age.

I have never felt so personally called out. I love it.
