I love BlueSky, mainly because it's now our best bet at Twitter not being as influential in the US midterm elections (that are coming up sooner than we think).

I like to brag and boast when I am right about a call, so it's only fair to admit when I'm wrong: I really thought Mastodon would get it together on the onboarding and trust and safety front.

In fairness, Mastodon is getting it together... but just far too slowly to matter. A slow "yes" is often the same outcome as a "no."🤷🏿‍♂️

@davidham

Pretty much the full list is just those 2 things:

1) Trust and Safety
2) Better onboarding for new users

🤷🏿‍♂️

I mean, I can get more detailed than that, but everything really maps to those 2. The only 3rd category would be:

3) Reduce costs for running an instance / increase non-VC, non-Ads, non-domation ways of getting paid for running / moderating an instance

If it's too expensive to run an instance, that tends to encourage mega instances. It also silences some important voices.
