realcaseyrollinsWhy BlueSky Isn’t the Alternative to X (Formerly Twitter) You’re Looking For — and Why Mastodon Is the Better Choice Over X, Threads, and BlueSky
JaymesRSAs long as the fediverse has a barrier to entry for most people of mandating choosing a server first, it will never become the mainstream choice.
db0Yeah, things requiring choosing a instance like, say, email, are doomed to fail
Peter G@db0 @JaymesRS yes, we all see how email failed! Choosing a Mastodon server in no way limits your access to the fediverse. It's just a way to "load balance" the network. You can follow groups and users from across the fediverse while also choosing a home server that best matches your needs for the community.
