My microblogging is split across Twitter, Mastodon and Bluesky. Twitter (I refuse to use its porn name) is full of vitriol, Mastodon is all geeks and Bluesky feels like a political bubble. Conversations feel fragmented, engagement is rock bottom and it's just not the same.

I feel like if we could just settle on one protocol (or at least bridge to the extent that it doesn't matter), bringing Mastodon and Bluesky together could really help.

@benfrancis I have to admit that I like Mastodon being all geeks. The kind of all geeks spaces that we had in the past all had a lot of problems, and this is the safest of them all. Not perfect by any means, but perfectible and definitely improving

@gabrielesvelto Yeah, I feel very at home amongst the geeks. But I also feel we lost a global town square.

Mastodon is definitely my favourite of the three, but it lacks polish and broad appeal.
