You are making my day! ♥️

After sharing my new presentation about information warfare across all platforms, it is clear Mastodon is number one. Among the external viewers…

31 percent are from Mastodon
3 percent are from Bluesky
2 percent are from Facebook
0 percent are from Threads

What you see above is the difference between unhindered interaction, and algorithmic suppression. I am fully convinced, the Threads content algorithm suppresses links to YouTube, to keep users in the fold.

1/2

@randahl bluesky is beating Mastodon... The Mastodon users interface is not user friendly and I won't blame Mastodon... Mastodon has no revenue model and no money to spend on features..

@nemo55 I strongly disagree with that. I use the @ivory app, and it works a lot better than Bluesky. It has statistics built in, it works on iPad, it is more stable, etc., etc.

@randahl @ivory Bluesky is attracting more users than Mastodon. Mastodon faces scaling challenges, has no full-time employees, lacks regular updates and new features, and doesn’t have a revenue model. As a result, Mastodon struggles to compete with X or Threads, leaving Bluesky as the likely contender. 😎

@nemo55 @randahl @ivory yeah but bluesky needs you to trust Jack Dorsey. "Fool me twice"

@zetabeta @capriciousday @nemo55 @randahl @ivory especially the crypto bros who are funding it now.

@zetabeta @nemo55 @randahl @ivory fair point, apparently I'm more out of the loop than I thought. Nevertheless bluesky still stinks of capital
