Mastodawn

How do people here feel about Bluesky? I am currently posting to both - largely because I am curious.

Bluesky didn't make 2 key mistakes that Mastodon makes

1. Bluesky web interface is very polished. Mastodon is still clunkly, after all those years.

2. The discovery feed in Bluesky is great - something that Mastodon has never really done, which severely hamper its attractiveness.

My sense is that at the current rate, Bluesky will be what Mastodon could have been.

Thoughts?

Bluesky might be more attractive on surface than Mastodon, but it is just Twitter 2 - as much as I liked pre-musk twitter, I will not be fooled twice ;)
Instead I will use that energy helping make Masto better, because it is not something that can be taken from us.

(There is a Mastodon <-> Bluesky bridge though, which I might set up at some point..)
