    BlueSky is specifically designed as a drop-in Twitter replacement, it’s an easy transition, and tons of Twitter users have been advertising it for a long time. The Fediverse is comparatively obscure.

      also mainstream professionals are going to bluesky, like press and corp PR. big step towards critical mass.

      And it’s ridiculous because the difference between Mastodon and Twitter is minuscule.

      I remember following some popular Twitter Head. Someone made a fake account on Mastodon and started getting followers but only posted once. Since then, his followers have grown to around 11k without any content at all! Imagine if it had been a real account. But the Twitter Head would rather switch to Bluesky instead. Such bullshit.

        i get it, its so frustrating. with bluesky we are just hitting the snooze button, theres bound to be problems with a privately owned social network again.

        the fact people are categorically rejecting a nazi platform for being nazi is actually pretty refreshing though.
