Jesse SkinnerBoost this toot if you're planning on sticking around Mastodon & the Fediverse whether or not it's more popular than Bluesky.
Dreaming of dad jazz.@JesseSkinner I'll be on both..
@pineywoozle ‘s #3WordNote@michaelcoyote @JesseSkinner I think keeping Mastodon as a main account and also building a community on BS that could be ported here if the enshitification of BS hits, might not be an awful idea. it might also be a way to educate people about the fediverse. #Mastodon #BlueSky

shield_asset@strypey @Pineywoozle @michaelcoyote @JesseSkinner Does the fact that BlueSky only operates with around 20 employees not alarm anyone?
@shield_asset @strypey @Pineywoozle @JesseSkinner
No. I don't see why the size of the company would bother me. They seem to be doing very well with the people they have. The technical ability of their team is very good without a doubt.
I do think that their implementation of federation is largely incomplete dispite what the boosters say. Noone else runs relay nodes but them and they're not cheap to run.
@shield_asset @strypey @Pineywoozle @JesseSkinner
Mostly though they are part of the VC system and eventually the VCs will want their money.
@shield_asset @strypey @Pineywoozle @JesseSkinner
I do think that they're beating everyone's ass on moderation and safety as well as with on-boarding. I hope we can implement their best ideas here.
@michaelcoyote @strypey @Pineywoozle @JesseSkinner That there's been such a smooth onboarding for hordes of Twitter refugees has been testament to good scalable moderation. Very true.
The cynic in me says "We'll see how long that lasts."
@shield_asset @strypey @Pineywoozle @JesseSkinner
The good on-boarding will probably last a long time. Other things will fall away.
