   Mastodon is terrible because it’s hard to join—unlike #Bluesky, a social network most people can’t join, which is user-friendly.

     When will those Mastodon people realize that nobody wants decentralization? We just want pre-Elon Twitter!

     And that’s why you should join me on #Bluesky, a place which will never decentralize and is exactly like pre-Elon Twitter.

     I’m getting a real “Linux on the desktop” vibe from the Fediverse.

     Now if you don’t mind me, I’m going to edit the TXT record to insert the proper DID value into the A record of my DNS settings so I can make my #Bluesky handle just so.

     Journalists are flocking to #Bluesky, and not Mastodon because Bluesky allows retweets—which Mastodon doesn’t allow.

     Oh, and about hashtags, direct messages, and post edits not being available on Bluesky? Journalists don’t need them.

     Why is Mastodon always so serious? The problem with you people is you never post anything for the fun of it.

     If only Mastodon would follow #Bluesky’s example of posting cat pics.

     @atomicpoet Ah, I thought journalist were flocking to #Bluesky because they’re all fancy people looking for hype and exclusivity. Getting a nose full of those tasty invites has gotta be a real fillip 😁

     @atomicpoet @mori You're on Bluesky right? What Bluesky has that Mastodon doesn't? Asides from quotes?

     The core problem with Mastodon is that it’s too political, unlike #Bluesky which completely steers clear of politics.

     Matty Iglesias can vouch for me here.

     I trust #Bluesky because it’s used by Jack Dorsey.

     No co-founder would ever use Mastodon!

     Unlike #Bluesky, Mastodon is full of rank amateurs. No serious organization would use it.

     Where’s the W3C or EU or Ars Technica? They anyone like them.

     @atomicpoet I’m horribly depressed and lonely, okay? I have no job and I’m broke. Maybe someday I’ll share pictures of my cat who doesn’t even live with me!
