But Bluesky’s model is even better in that regard!

Currently, in the Fediverse you lose all your posts when you’re moving

With Bluesky, you don’t

Using hashtags for discovery and as an invitation for a civilized discussion has literally nothing to do with unsolicited advice

What nonsense is this

In what dimension tagging a post is solicitation for advice?

If I were soliciting advice, I would have, you know, clearly solicited advice. Which I didn’t.

Make it makes sense

What do you mean?

This blew up, so I feel compelled to add a few more tings

1. I hope to be wrong, ie that Mastodon will not lose the power struggle with Meta over ActivityPub

2. If you want to see the kind of toxicity Mastodon is known for, the replies this thread get are right there for you to enjoy. Insulting a complete stranger over a *social media app* is some high level, genuinely unhinged, antisocial behavior. And of course, Mastodon’s lack of safety features makes impossible to tame this toxicity.

I’m muting this

Not that I’m surprised, but too many of the conversations this thread generated were very unpleasant, in a typical Mastodon way

If the feature existed, I would also close replies

But Mastodon doesn’t have enough resources to implement it, which is a massive trust and safety issue in my opinion

Not Mastodon’s team fault, but the end result is the same

I’m going back to Bluesky

Peace ✌️

Personally, similarly to many other people, my experience on Mastodon has been particularly awful

I don’t like Threads, but I find a lot of joy on Bluesky

Everybody is different, once again, use the platform that works best for you

All of this should be a wake up call for #Mastodon as a community

I’m not super optimistic to be honest, which is why I’ve basically deserted the platform and I’m spending my time on #Bluesky these days

The silver lining of today’s events in Brazil is that even if Mastodon is left out of the equation, another open platform is benefiting from this mess

It pains me to see #Mastodon in such a dire state

Meta is building and growing #Threads quickly, and Mastodon can only acts as a powerful counterweight if the platform itself is in good shape

Today, it is not

It’s not catastrophic, but the writing is on the wall

And what’s virtually certain is that Mastodon has definitely missed the unique window that Elon Musk opened when he bought Twitter

Such a window won’t reopen soon, and possibly will never happen again

#Mastodon has been losing users for a long time

Many of us warned that the app was too complicated, the culture too toxic, the economic model not strong enough to sustain a fast-paced development

In just a few months, #Bluesky shipped DMs, major moderation features, third-party moderation, and will soon ship video

The last major Mastodon update was 11 *months* ago. An eternity.

Now that #Brazil has banned Xitter, where are Brazilian people going?

Based on Google Trends, they’re mostly interested in #Bluesky, and to a (much) lesser extent, in #Threads

#Mastodon is nowhere to be found, which should immensely worry pro-Fedi people
