    Look I’ve bopped around bsky and do enjoy it. Wish Mastodon had picked up the eXodus but bsky isn’t the worst alternative.

    Really hoping we get past the point where day old accounts are saying “bluesky is such a BREATH of FRESH AIR”. I would think so too though if I was breathing whatever is coming out of of Twitter up until now…

    Mastodon needs to get shiny and pretty and intuitive. Bluesky is gonna suck eventually because it’s corporate, the Fediverse will only get better.

    But it needs to lose the fucking github energy.

      Honestly Misskey forks for all their flaws can absolutely take this opportunity to properly advertise themselves as viable alternatives. As someone who uses a Misskey fork, I love the UI in comparison to Mastodon, and the communities in Misskey forks are a lot less techie and a lot more laid back and goofy most of the time from my personal experience.

        Sadly, most of English instance use Misskey-fork, which tends to be discontinued after a while…

        Not even trying to contribute back to Misskey, especially as they desperately need more English contributor.

          Honestly depends, but if you want an all-around good instance on a misskey fork, try lethallava.land

      If it’s any consolation I am seeing bridged account for Mastodon over there. I think people will get more exposure to the wider Fedverse while they’re there.

    On one hand that’s a good thing.

    On the other hand you had to wait for our government to go fascist to start making the bare minimum of effort so here’s a temporary “Go Fuck Yourself” from those of us that knew enough to leave two years ago.

    Is Bluesky prone to enshittification? I don’t know much about the AT protocol, but it seems like it works relatively similar to ActivityPub. Is it open source?

    Running from one platform backed by people who supported Trump, right into another one. Gotta love controlled opposition and the illusion of choice.
