Andromeda Yelton: This is hilarious, given how much of mastodon is dunking on Bluesky for being influencers

New hotness on Threads is apparently talking trash about Bluesky, mostly from people whose business model includes being an "influencer" of some sort.

This is hilarious, given how much of mastodon is dunking on Bluesky for being influencers

It’s all one giant circledunk.

Mastodon thinks that anyone who isn't unemployed is "corpo" lol

I haven't seen this on Mastodon at all... I guess I'm following the wrong (or right?) people!

I've never influenced anyone in my life

Ah, as natural and effervescent as Heisler beer. Heisler - the taste that quenches.

Exactly! Also, shamelessness is not a prerequisite, but I find it helps.
