If you had to choose only one to use exclusively which one would you pick ?

Mastodon or Bluesky ?

Give specific reasons to back up your claim.
#mastodon #bluesky

@thedisciple mastodon because even if it is slowly become more corporate, at least I can still run my own, own my data, and choose whether or not I allow specific other sites access to that data.

@zephyrxero ....no. it's not federated. It has parts that are decentralized, but those parts still send their data to relays which are all owned and operated by BlueSky, thus cancelling out any decentralization in the first place. They're doing that intentionally and deceptively.

No decentralization, no federation.

There will be a lot of pressure soon from investors: run ads, make premium accounts that do not actually make sense in a decentralized way, so on and so on.

In this way, "credible exit" is the most important thing for Bluesky the organization and its community to push on *today*

@darnell @mosseri @threads they have another month before I defederate. They said by the end of the year so I'm holding them to it.

@shyestrange yeah that's the difference. If you want to keep track of the post without the original poster or anyone else being aware.

@CWSmith @minnermann nobody on either platform has to do that unless they're trying to interact with people on the other platform.

I think this post is asking what's better about each platform independent of one another.

@fortyseven at least threads is integdating ActivityPub...BlueSky is pretending to be decentralized while not bei g decentralized at all. It's intentionally deceptive.

@shyestrange it bookmarks the post so you can easily see it again later.

What, if so, makes #Mastodon superior to #Bluesky? I’m truly interested.

@minnermann nothing. Now, if we're talking the entire #Fediverse, not just Mastodon, then not having your data owned by a corporation is quite nice.

@kern not if ActivityPub as a whole adds certain functionality like federated ads.

I worry about that because the Social Web Foundation is being funded by several big corporations including Meta.

Threads itself isn't a threat if they didn't have their money in the pockets of AP.🤷♂️

I really wish I learned to be a programmer when I was younger.

So many things I could have just done myself over the years or at least have some knowledge on how a goal could be accomplished.

If I was a programmer, then when the eventual corporate takeover of ActivityPub happens, I could possibly limit it's effects myself instead of hoping that there's gonna be viable options.

@rob I challenged her directly on this topic through BridgyFed and she didn't really have a good answer. That was about 8 months ago and they still haven't figured out that a system that requires a connection to a centralized system, then none of it is decentralized.😬

@ozzy @Eliot_L I don't :( I'm sorry. I only use DigitalOcean for server things and since I've never used AWS, I don't know if it's comparable. I know nothing about it.😬

@ThaMunsta @raindrops_and_roses it's been fine for me since the women's fight. Crossing my fingers for the Tyson fight.

@BeAware I'm not sure what this is referring to but I fully agree with the sentiment and I'm experiencing it myself. I just hope karma is true.

@raindrops_and_roses the Mike Tyson/Jake Paul fights tonight had an undercard women's championship fight and one woman kept headbutting and the judges gave her the win.🤦♂️

What a bullshit decision.😒

Cheaters do win sometimes and it's always fucked up.

@pdh_sedlr @the_spc that's probably why there's threads integrating that will help people know about it.
