@mastodonmigration Counterpoint, as the article points out, it's open source. If bsky eventually incorporates ads (still an "if" question atm) and there are users who want an ad free experience they can literally create their own feed or even their own *client* which doesn't allow them.

This isn't to say we shouldn't be skeptical of them, I didn't think they'd last 6 months w/ the T&S hurdles they had to clear, but I have to admit they've been doing more good than bad lately.

@mastodonmigration In the mean time, I somehow have over 1.7k 'followers' there, but almost zero interactions.

I'm much happier here, and putting my energy into interacting with folks here. Mainly because we actually interact with each other here.

Editing to add: BS seems to be more about empty metrics/numbers rather than actual connection and community like many of us have been able to build here. Not that here is perfect. At all.
