I would prefer to have Mastodon stay out of the limelight because we might need it after they target BlueSky. Mastodon is safe from attacks by an incoming autocratic administration precisely because it is too small for them to give any fucks about.
I hate how quickly this site has gained a mainstream foothold while the Fediverse is so much the obvious choice.
We have our issues, Mastodon is far from perfect but you cant tell me that they are somehow problem free.
Mastodon has terrible discoverability. It feels like a ghost town. It’s just not suitable as a Twitter replacement.
I think this is the primary hitch.
Personally, if there was a service like Bluesky that let you choose your algorithm instead of just being purely chronological, I would jump on that very fast. That’s what Bluesky’s killer feature is, imo.
Apart from, y’know, not being the hellsite that is Twitter.
I mean, if Bluesky can let you create/choose custom algorithms for your feed, why can’t Mastodon?
@[email protected] I guess, though, on this occasion, I’m happy for the EU to not look at the data-security of the Fedi. 😆
This is positive news for Bluesky.
If there is fuckery, they have to fix it.
If nothing bad is found is also ok.Sounds almost like they should’ve focused on being properly decentralized sooner.
