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?
@marcelsalathe I found my favorite reader to be https://phanpy.social - it even solves the "Cory Doctorow" problem with loooong threads.
Also, my discovery are the boosts of other people :)
And don't you leave mastodon, now that epfl might finally start up it's instance!
@marcelsalathe I read of some people doing the cross posting thingie: on Bluesky to reach out to many people, and mastodon for the cosy fireplace feeling :)
For me it's comfortable here - I found my echo chamber, including some nice weirdos. Wouldn't want to change it.
But if you want to have a big reach, Mastodon is definitely not the right place. And I guess it will never be. Not enough money to push it.
