Mastodawn

mcc Nov 23, 2024

I like having Bluesky because it is a non-Twitter, non-Facebook space where I can hear from all my friends who are unable or unwilling to use Mastodon (a site with real barriers to entry). I haven't talked to a lot of those folks much since 2022 and I missed them.

I have intricate arguments why Bluesky is the wrong technical model for a distributed social network. But if a person has already decided *for nontechnical reasons* that they aren't using Mastodon, those arguments mean nothing to them

I still don’t really understand instances. There is a (relatively) easy button called mastodon.social, though, isn’t there? What do I miss from having taken the easy route?

@Curtolian that was about what I was going to say. I made an account on mastodon.cloud, followed some people and some hashtags, and that was about it. I think there was a mechanism for finding people that had been on twitter that were now on mastodon (since I was coming from there).
