What do you mean by "Bluesky is bsky.app"?
And while stating all of these as facts is extreme, I agree, I just said all because of my own experience, I tried it all myself before stating any.

#Facts that #Mastodon users always refuse to accept, yet these are true:
#Brave is the best browser and a search engine. No else #browser is better then it. No else search engine. Not even #Firefox or #Chrome .
#iPhone are the best phones with their iOS to exist. And no, Android devices aren't better.
#Bluesky is the best alternative to #Twitter /#X , the one true, DECENTRALIZED (yes, it has its own #ATProtocol ) alternative that we all need.
#ZCash is a better #privacy focused #cryptocurrency then #Monero .
From my interactions with Mastodon users, all of these facts aren't accepted by them at all, they really start to strongly defend their beliefs, starting to talking about either reputation or behavement of a person/company, or either their past actions. Guess what? I don't care about anything of that; I just need a good product that worth to use.
I'll add more to that list, if I'll think of any.
Ladies and gentlemen - power is back!
For those of you who have no idea what am I talking about: we live in Florida and we had experienced a few hurricanes, house flooding, and lived without power. Now it had came back and I am once again back at my computer writing this :-)
Hell yeah.
I'll be inactive for the next few days - maybe three and more.
Reason? Because I live in Florida. And if you heard the news, you're smart enough to understand why will I be inactive.
Yesterday I didn't had time to write this, since we left our home in such extreme hurry.
@youronlyone I didn't. Any resources that supports what you said? Did Fediverse even existed back in 2010? Activity Pub in 2010? I highly doubt that.
OK, y'all, listen:
For probably around a week I'll be inactive.
That is due to me moving to #Florida from #SaintLouis right tomorrow.
I might post at the time or might not. Around week I won't be active.
Even after it.
Honestly, wish me luck. I will be looking for job out there in Florida and I might return back, but not very soon.
Unless I find a job.
See you next time!

Meanwhile, while it's still on my mind, let me post my thoughts in one post:
Thought one:
Bluesky, as far as it seems, seems to be the best Twitter alternative as of now.
You see, unlike Mastodon, it has so-called "profile labelers". Won't explain to you now what are these things, since I don't have time, so you can figure it out on your own.
Long story short, because Bluesky has ***real*** DMs (dislike private mentions on here), just like on Twitter, has profile labelers, has a Twitter feeling interface and community and similar algorithms and most of Twitter's features, --- Bluesky might be the best candidate to be Twitter alternative!
Thought number two:
I see everyone on #Threads discussing Bluesky. Many people seem to be disliking Threads and prefer Bluesky instead. I also heard many Brazilians news programs switching now to Bluesky.
Listen, I know what you gonna say. That Mastodon is the best one.
Thought number 3:
Engagement report:
I have 354 followers on Twitter (never call it #X !), most are bots, some real humans, but I mainly receive no interaction unless I reply to a tweet that is about to go viral.
I have 30 followers on Bluesky. No interaction, unless I respond to any post.
Basically: only my replies on #Twitter and #Bluesky have interactions. My posts don't.
Another thought: my engagement on #Mastodon is the best one. Here, I have 155 followers.
You see, Bluesky is the best alternative ONLY if you previously had big audience on Twitter. If you weren't popular at all and didn't made any name on there, Bluesky is useless to you as alternative to Twitter.
I never made a name over there.
Here, on Mastodon, I got a good audience of mine. I can tell that some good amount of people on Mastodon are familiar with me, and it's easy to go viral on here.
Here, I have real conversations. I mean, I do as well have conversations on these other 3 platforms too, but like, here people are actually want to discuss anything.
Man.
Nobody knows me on Bluesky, Twitter, Threads.
Oh, Threads. I have 51 followers over there but only my Mastodon friends interact with me. Same on Bluesky.
So,
Best engagement and easiest way to go viral? Mastodon.
Best way to get your Twitter audience back on another platform without Elon? It's Bluesky.
And if you want to....I totally have no idea for what cases I could recommend Threads.

These are my thoughts.
See you next time!
You will love this.
Context: I got randomly DMed on Twitter, told them to go the fuck off, and their response was quite sus. So, I did what others have done previously many times.
To be honest, that's scary. If you're still on bird site, be aware.

@BeAware Certainly, what features does it lacks that you want to have?
Holy shit, OpenVibe is actually a cool app!
Love it. It's truly better then Mona, when it comes to UX.
If you're reading this and you're an iPhone user...can you tell me please, where do I find "local" tab in @MonaApp?
P.S. That's the only Mastodon app I can use on my iPhone 6c. Other Mastodon apps don't support iOS 12.
EDIT: nvm, found it.
Thoughts?
@xepher @mammoth Word for word: Could Not Create Account
Your account cannot be created at this time.
OK.
@xepher @mammoth Oh hey Mona user. Apple tells me that I can't create my account at that time . Why? Why not?
@BeAware I always check my Mastodon :-)
People have been calling Apple to be the company that focuses on simplicity and privacy, but it's literally violates my privacy rights, when creating the account . Alright Apple , fine , here is my real name, my home address, information about my family since you ask for it, blah blah blah. Just let me create the account !!!!!!!!
No? Seriously ? Apparently, I am unable to create the account at that time ? Then at which time should I create it? At 3:00 AM????
@BeAware And also: how did YOU created an Apple ID????
@BeAware I'm trying from my Android device too....doesn't helps.
@BeAware But what about creating account on Apple's web version ? Can't create on there too!
I got an iPhone 5C. Wanted to try @mammoth . Apparently it requires an account .
Dear Apple users! How on the fucking Earth did you created an account (Apple ID) ??????????
Apparently, no matter what I try, Apple doesn't lets me to create an account on iPhone 5C nor on its web version.
I want to try an iPhone . Never tried one in my life.
But such treatment from Apple quite dissapoints me.
I know it's a stupid question, but how do I create a freakin account on Apple's website ??????????
You know, I prefer to accept the Twitter's situation as a game.
When Elon killed the bird, a chance to become next Twitter appeared.
So, when that happened, several Twitter clones appeared. Some of them soon died, some still stay alive.
The only 3 social media that are currently surviving as Twitter alternatives are Bluesky, Mastodon and Threads.
Most of people you know are having an account on at least one of these platforms.
So, the challenge to become the next Twitter is still live and haven't ended yet.
