   @m @mahaska @atomicpoet @paulschoe @stefan @fediversenews Out of curiosity, which do you think people would be more drawn to?

   I don't have a specific favorite, I'm just curious what people think most new users would pick if they had to pick on features alone.

   Like in my case, I like Mastodon, but I'm really open to trying anything at this point.

     Unfortunately, I do not believe that people chose on features.
     People choose on 3 items:
     1) Hype
     2) Recommendations.
     3) Ease of signing up

     Based on hype, I expect that BlueSky will get the largest initial growth. That despite the fact that Jack Dorsey has even said that he likes to replace 'likes' by financial endorsements (mini payments), which he calls: real commitment. This clearly shows what a wolf in sheep's clothes BlueSky is.

     clacke repeated this.

     Jack is pushing nostr to do this too by the way.
     
     I think this is a big mistake. What made FB and Twitter and Youtube cool once upon a time was that they didnt run on advertisements or charge anything.
     
     Once they started doing that, things went downhill. I feel like this is going to turn individuals into advertisers.
     
     Im trying to be very vocal about my opinion on this. But I dont want to come off as rude. So forgive anything that might sound harsh.
