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.

Kinda makes me want to go there TBH. Well maybe they will federate.

@futurebird @leo I think by that he means the single instance experience and the algorithm driven content. The first part would not mesh if/when they actually allow other nodes. The second part is open for debate on whether it makes for a positive or negative user experience.
I could be misunderstanding though, in which case I'll go back and sit in my corner...

@mikey @futurebird @leo it’s a private beta still being built out. They are working to have federation up within the next month. As far as algorithms there will be a market of algorithms and instances/users will have algorithmic choice

@damonoutlaw @mikey @futurebird @leo People complain that Mastodon is too complicated but then want to go to a site where users have to select their own algorithm? Make it make sense.
