   @spurs

   Quick question: is it worth continuing with the #COYS stuff here on Masto?

   The community seems to be shrinking while Bluesky continues to grow.

   Does it matter?

   What is it that Bluesky offers that Masto doesn't?

   I've come to realise it's quality of connections on social media that matters rather than volume. So perhaps it being relatively quiet here is a plus?

   It has been *very* quiet of late, though. Perhaps it's just because we've been playing badly?

     @SwellWines @spurs I'm sticking around and won't be going over to Bluesky any time soon. I don't think it's significantly better, but it looks a lot more like Twitter so I think it suits those leaving Twitter who still actually liked Twitter pre-Musk.

     Tim Chambers repeated this.

     @SwellWines @spurs Btw, if anyone wants a Mastodon experience that looks more like Twitter and Bluesky (or you're looking to recommend Masto to someone leaving Twitter/Bluesky), check out https://indieweb.social/. It uses @rolle's excellent Bird Site UI theme (https://github.com/ronilaukkarinen/mastodon-bird-ui) and is run by @tchambers, one of the most decent, smart, thoughtful, and active fedi admins around.

     Plenty more instances that use Bird Site UI here: https://github.com/ronilaukkarinen/mastodon-bird-ui?tab=readme-ov-file#list-of-instances-that-use-mastodon-bird-ui

     @hallenbeck @spurs personally, I only want to deal with one social media site & after trashing Fbook then Twitter, presently it’s Masto. I haven’t looked at any other site as a result. If BlueSky is that significantly better, then perhaps I will check it out, but available time is always the issue.

     @tchambers @SwellWines @spurs @rolle Thanks for all you do for the fediverse. I listened to your episode on Dot Social and thought you were great. 👍🏼
