Chief TWiT 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 I'm having trouble even understanding why people are interested in BlueSky. If they're looking for a Twitter alternative that's not subject to corporate takeover, *we're right here* and rocking. What is the appeal at this point? Hasn't the fediverse already solved this?

@shacker @leo #BlueSky does claim to have proper identity migration, which is interesting. I also wonder if they have solved the very real problems in #Mastodon due to the federation model: visible in post reply view (many/most replies are not seen) and profile view (most posts not shown).

@Setok @leo Good points - there are advantages then. Thanks for outlining those.
