  • It’s more like a better Twitter

    Mastodon and Xitter are missing a lot of the quality of life features of Bluesky.

    • Good user verification
    • Add lists
    • Block lists
    • Subscribable topic feeds
    • Configurable algorithms

    These things make Bluesky very easy to get started with and more powerful even than Xitter was. It’s simply a better product if you have any requirements other than federation. Getting a good feed up and running doesn’t take more than an hour or two. It’s basically possible now on Twitter and it’s very difficult on Mastodon.

    Yes, its federation is more or less bullshit, but for most users, that feature is a distant priority when compared to the rest.





  • I use both and Mastodon is missing a lot of the quality of life features of Bluesky.

    I wish it were otherwise, but that’s just the way it is.
