What a depressing read this is, OpenAI has scraped tons of books and trying to scrape the entire internet and they don’t have to worry much, but ordinary people have to think twice for scanning and donating the physical book to someone who might benefit from it, such a dystopic reality

I hadn’t thought about that… when there was an exodus last year or 2022 I think? Mastodon received a lot of users and mastodon.social temporarily closed sign ups, probably because of this. It’s also a lot more convenient and easier switch to BlueSky, official app very Twitter-like web UI also Twitter-like, it certainly provides a more convenient switch to people who just don’t to stress on the smallest things, also just create account with a default instance pre-selected (which a lot of those migrating there are confused why usernames contain the instance after the username). Pixelfed does a lot better in those terms comparing to what it aims to be an alternative of (Instagram) than Mastodon does with too many choices most people will be lost even more the people who know very little about tech and don’t even know the difference of centralized and decentralized. I’ve came across this post on Mastodon (from another Lemmy post) which is very concerning though… but again, these people won’t care about that, it’s all about convenience for most of them and BlueSky is doing it well.

That definitely makes a difference, you can choose which but by default it already selects one so some people won’t even change it for convenience, however, that’s not a thing on Mastodon so… Also, a lot of those are mobile users and BlueSky has a lot more Twitter-like familiar UI than Mastodon apps (maybe I’m wrong and if so, point me to which one because there are so many… there goes another issue and convenience out of the window for people who just don’t care about searching and wants something to be done quick - so basically most of Twitter users that still didn’t leave it or went to BlueSky)
