Do even academics not understand the network effect?

Lately, I’m seeing lots of follow-worthy people posting that it’s much nicer over at #BlueSky than it’s here at #Mastodon, persuading us to move to BlueSky too. Sure, I believe that.

But BlueSky is just another (VC-funded) platform owned by capitalists.

If people stayed at Mastodon, we could avoid the forming of the network effect that made it so hard to escape Twitter/X.

A strange notion to escape X just to hop into BlueSky‘s lap instead.

@davidculley I've been here since 20. 16 when I had a GNUSocial instance. I have seen it grow and grow, I really like it, it is the only place I know where microblogging really works and stays true to the connected village feel that 2009 Twitter had, before it became all angry

Bluesky still feels very ragey to me.

Do any techie people happen to know why I'm completely unable to access the settings app on an iPad Mini with Voiceover? Visually they're there, but all Voiceover will read is the status bar and absolutely nothing on the screen. It's running iOS 14.4.2 if that matters. I can't update to the latest version because I can't access the settings, which is also why I haven't tried resetting to factory settings. This is maddening and has resulted in me hardly using the device for months.

Consider: James Bond movie but his gadgets constantly fail and show him ads and he gets caught because the company that made his laser nose-hair trimmer nunchuck gets hacked.
