  • But you weren’t discussing Twitter you were discussing Bluesky. They built it with decentralised identities so that users owned their identities and can move about freely. You saying people could “easily” move to another instance isn’t reality. People already find the Fediverse too difficult, as you and I discussed under a different thread people actually care about their data which also includes their posting history. Humans by nature do not like change. People complain about Mastodon.social being too big to block. So, if people that want to block mastodon.social due to what they believe is poor content moderation but feel they can’t because of its size how likely that people would find it “easy” to move to another instance ?



  • That’s not true it’s not entirely punted to the end user. It starts with the relay operators just like it does instances. All of the same moderation tools that users have on instances and with clients Nostr users have too, so I’m not really sure about that comment. Also, maybe it’s because I’m a US citizen but I don’t get what so problematic about individualism and allowing users the ability to drive their own experiences. You mention the keys that’s still under user control as if instances have not gone down with users identities, content and social graphs Usability worse than anything on AP that’s very broad. Go point for point with comparisons You can filter out any content related to Bitcoin.







  • You say that but it’s a one year old play form and protocol, of course it is just Bluesky. The Fediverse existed long before Mastodon and Mastodon is 8 years old, so I don’t get your point. That still doesn’t touch upon the negative to tethering users identity to instances. Many of them have tried Mastodon and it was a poor experience for them. So, it’s not an option. The Fediverse isn’t for everyone and that is absolutely okay. People are hoping to leave and not use Twitter/X, they have good alternatives that suits their needs and that should be celebrated.

    I get it, Sports Twitter is resilient and still is where the good stuff is. I mostly read and listen to The Athletic. The Threads sports community is solid, sports & tech are the reasons I made a Threads account. NFL Threads is typically lively




  • Yes, they opened federation a couple months ago and people are running their own PDS. It’s different from Twitter as people can own their identity, it’s only been out a little over a year, give it time dude. Mastodon is 8 years old. Blue sky has custom feeds over 40k of them made by various people, mute lists and block lists that are shareable and abled to be subscribed to, use identities are not tethered to instances, more controls of what they see and don’t see. You have a bunch of liberals and marginalised communities on there enjoying themselves. Why would go to Twitter?
