mastodon
- doesn’t compress images
- doesn’t limit your gallery
- longer character limit
- no algorithm to fight
- has entire servers dedicated to niche furry communities
- lets instances mass-block griefing and dangerous instances
- feature rich and open source, letting people make apps that offer even more features
- lets you leave instances without losing your followers
- isn’t proprietary and owned by a billionaire

bluesky
- easier sign up process, if you get an invite
- more twitter-esque UI
- literally directs your posts to people who hate furries

it’s so insane to me that this is somehow a competition 🙃

edit: just cause a few folks have reached out — this is NOT meant to disparage people who are going to bluesky. just cause i don’t understand what they like about it doesn’t mean that they’re bad people or anything. we are all in this together, i don’t care what life boat folks get onto, i just hope they find a way to thrive there. 💜

@Poles what’s it look like? I’ve seen mentions that it’s a cw warning toggle per keyword (kinda like mastodon has) but never any screenshots

@Anijatsu it uses AI to identify content and then gives you the option to either hide, warn, or show their posts. mind you, these folks can still find and see your posts regardless of what you pick (and right now the algorithm is actively serving furry stuff to them because it’s driving engagement via hate, so that’s super fun 🙃)

@Poles thank you for confirming, I’m still in disbelief over how easily it got traction
