Looking and doing are two different things, but I’m sure this will increase too. I left under Bush after the 2000 financial crisis and have no regrets.

It’s more like a better Twitter

Mastodon and Xitter are missing a lot of the quality of life features of Bluesky.

• Good user verification
• Add lists
• Block lists
• Subscribable topic feeds
• Configurable algorithms

These things make Bluesky very easy to get started with and more powerful even than Xitter was. It’s simply a better product if you have any requirements other than federation. Getting a good feed up and running doesn’t take more than an hour or two. It’s basically possible now on Twitter and it’s very difficult on Mastodon.

Yes, its federation is more or less bullshit, but for most users, that feature is a distant priority when compared to the rest.

It just gives you a checkmark, nothing else AFAIK.

You put a snippet of code on your website.

This is the real issue. The same volume is totally different on different devices. If they want to implement this feature correctly they need to measure the actual output of the headphones.

Bluesky has some very powerful features here like auto updating block lists which you can subscribe to and which will automatically remove trolls for you. And they are policing hate speech and harassment.

I use both and Mastodon is missing a lot of the quality of life features of Bluesky.

• Good user verification
• Add lists
• Block lists
• Subscribable topic feeds
• Configurable algorithms

These things make Bluesky very easy to get started with and more powerful even than Xitter was. It’s simply a better product if you have any requirements other than federation.

I wish it were otherwise, but that’s just the way it is.

Except the walk is happening. Bluesky feels way more thriving to me than Xitter already.
