I mean, good? I guess they'd bring some user growth, but they'd just post their brand stuff that I don't imagine most people really want in their feeds, and there's the risk that they end up getting favored treatment on larger instances by donating more than a typical user can or paying the moderators there.

My thoughts exactly.
There are vanishingly few places on the Internet that are not inundated with constant ads, promotions, astroturfing, and commercials.
It's why I like it here.
stsquad 4 points 2 years ago
Sure I don't want ads pumped into my feed but some corporations can do social media well. I used to follow Yorkshire Tea on twitter who were generally pretty funny, I don't drink even drink their teas.

Okay Lululemmy is a great name actually.

@noodlejetski@lemm.ee oh sure, bit of a pot calling kettle black situation though.

This is why companies should never set themselves up walled gardens of communication. The execs probably had no clue how hated their company was, because they just see the sales and stock values. Then the minute they actually step into the real world, they get smacked with the dildo of consequence.

Pretty sure this late into the game Adobe know full well that people hate them, I think they underestimated the level of corporate greed and enshittification that Bluesky has and will return when things are more “corporate friendly”
Walican132 6 points 2 years ago
Is everyone friendly to Adobe on other platforms?
Skyrmir 22 points 2 years ago
They're flooded by the bots, or filtered, on other platforms. Couple that with Bluesky being a new platform with a decidedly anti-corporate user bias, and the message ratios change dramatically.

Gotcha I was confused how this could be a surprise to them lol
Artyom 5 points 2 years ago
Everyone has hated Adobe for several decades now, and they have only made more evil decisions since. Surely even if the Adobe offices are a little bubble of misinformation, everyone in that company must know they are extremely hated.

Bluesky isn’t fediverse
Sergio 28 points 2 years ago
“Hey, we’re Adobe! We’re here to connect with the artists, designers, and storytellers who bring ideas to life,” read Adobe’s first post which has since been deleted. “What’s fueling your creativity right now?”
Protip: if you're as hated as Adobe, don't ask open-ended questions.

And nothing of value was lost that day.

Fuck adobe, they got what they deserved.

There isn't one. The exact same thing happened to every brand that tried to market to Tumblr users as well, and it's as easy to set up and use a Tumblr account as it is a Twitter account.
Becoming unmarketable is not the same thing as having a difficult account creation process.

More like the fediverse has a highpass filter that blocks people who probably shouldn't be on social media in the first place.

24 hours later this threat still only has 35 comments and most of them are trash

Isn't Adobe still making boatloads of money off of artists that pay them? What's holding back artists from paying or donating to opensource alternatives instead? Imagine if 1 million moneys or more went to projects like Krita, GIMP, and Inkscape every year. How quickly would it catch up to the proprietary options?

The fediverse has an onboarding problem and the lack of growth makes that clear
andMoonsValue 1 point 2 years ago
I think there has been growth, but do you think the only issue stopping the fediverse from growing faster is onboarding?
Angry_Autist 4 points 2 years ago
No, why are you putting words into my mouth?
You say there's growth but unless its a meme or a politics sub, basically everything is dead here. The last post in the yu gi oh community was three months ago and that's a fucking huge IP
Lemmy has already had time to be established and it is basically unknown outside of lemmy users, there is a fucktonne wrong with the site and the userbase but admins refuse to address it in delusion

Supermods, bots, and forum sliders just like everywhere else

That’s what I said when I saw Mark there at the inauguration. “My”, I said, “doesn’t he look irrelevant”.

if they did that on Fedi, they'd get the exact same treatment, and in addition to that people would call for defederating the instance they'd signed up on.
