@arstechnica I don't know how anyone reads that article and thinks "this sounds bad".

@Gargron wants Mastodon to be a viable alternative to any commercial social media platform. How is that a negative position?

A barrier to that was ease of use. That's why there were like 1000 posts from Nov-Jan 2022 that were like "Here's how to use Mastodon everyone!"

Personally, I don't want to go to bluesky. I like it here. But I'm still waiting for #sports coverage to make it to the fediverse
