Twitter Exploding, Got A Bluesky by Crossdog367


It's been a long journey with Twitter but I think we're winding down to a bitter and slow circling of the drain. As many of you probably already know, the social media site is rebranding as "X". Tweets will henceforth be known as "xeets". For many people, this was the last straw. I'll be around on Twitter until the ship goes under, but I'm now active on Bluesky as well!

    A user noticed something fishy in its terms, basically giving them the rights to use what you post there:

      I looked over this and it's all pretty standard for an up-and-coming social media company. Nothing in the link you said me said anything about giving Bliuesky the copyright to anything I post. Almost all social media sites get rights to distribute your work. Legally, this allows them to do things like show your work in previews and thumbnails.

        Yeah, the local furry discord here had a discussion about this just earlier today:

        it's not copyright but a royalty-free license, that comes with no spesifications, then nothing stops them from making t-shirts to sell, the character on it still belongs to you, so they can't redraw it in any way, it is only the image you posted .. unlike other platforms like Discord that tells you what they will use it for.

        BUT .. I don't have access to their ToS, so as the page states, it could have been reworked to be more in-depth already.

          I found it and saw it, it's hot garbage at the moment and looks like it was typed up in a week. It currently says that posted content "becomes the property of Blue Sky Media", but the use cases are the same mundane ones that Twitter/FurAffinity uses. These are current as of 2019, and as you said, may have been updated.
