Mastodawn

Apr 29, 2023

Having spent a little time on Bluesky (leolaporte.me) I'm here to report that I'm sticking with Mastodon.

Too many people want Bluesky to replicate Twitter - and the outrage machine is already spinning up.

The ATProtocol is interesting - but I'm not sure it's significantly better than ActivityPub.

The homegrown feel here just feels better to me. More small town than big city. But I'll keep an eye on Bluesky. I'm not writing it off yet.

@leo Sounds like it's not even really decentralized either as it requires connection to an identity server. https://notnow.dev/objects/e96d0d31-6d21-4ad6-a069-2504864cf6f0
