As Twitter self-immolates, I am seeing people I know setting up on Bluesky.

I find this perplexing. Can people really not learn the lesson that a social network owned by a capitalist is a social network they don't control?

You can argue about whether Bluesky or Mastodon has the better technology, but what's 100% clear is that Mastodon is run BY users FOR users. And that difference is the only one that matters in the end.

@mike I love the idea of Mastodon, and have had some interesting exchanges here. But it doesn’t have the functionality yet to replace what Twitter provided. Bluesky comes closer to it. My main issue with Mastodon is the fact that I am unable to view posts by people who are “unknown” to my instance. I’ve moved instances but that has unlocked some topics but not others.
