@elipariser I think this post is quite telling, so you need massive financial backing in order to set up a relay for a 2nd Bluesky instance. With great money comes great incentives to do bad things. The point here is, why should a user potentially go through the same busted experience they had with Twitter on a potentially busted 2nd Bluesky instance? With #ActivityPub, you can simply find another instance, #Mastodon doesn't disappear when one instance goes busted.

@gyptazy @grunfink I'm curious how it scales with the number of instances.

Recently I noticed there is a #Mastodon setting/feature where one can choose hashtags to feature on their profile. Not every Mastodon user interface shows the hashtags though. But for those that do use them, I find it's a great way of quickly getting to know a user by viewing their posts by hashtag topic.

Anyone else using this feature? It's making me want to use hashtags in all my posts from here on out.
