@mattblaze diversity is one of the best way to beat group think and monoculture of ideas.

@Grant_M @taylorlorenz Google and other major SM companies have been manipulating their users for a while. Instead of showing the users the search results the users want, the companies show their users the results the companies want. These results are directed in ways that either benefit the companies agenda, or income (i.e you only see results from companies that are in some way affiliated with the SM company or pay for higher visibility). That’s it.

@mekkaokereke I think if you take into account the lack of resources and this particular gatekeeping you will be able to understand why things move so slowly.
Generally I agree with your comments.

@jcutting @mekkaokereke I am not sure this is correct, mastodon was Eugen’s pet project and BlueSky was an offshoot of twitter funded by Dorsey with millions from the beginning. How exactly did mastodon have a head start. I do agree BlueSky gets a lot of things right and I do agree that many people are frustrated with mastodon but ultimately it is an open source project with the good and bad that comes from it. This is like comparing gimp with photoshop.

@mekkaokereke you may have noticed that there are people submitting patches to mastodon that are not accepted for months or ever for no technical reason apart from the lead Eugen not liking the person who submitted them.
This is what I meant by the phrase certain convictions. What you think should happen and what many other people think should happen will not happen until Eugen is convinced. I believe as has happened in the past he will eventually see that this is the way forward.

@mekkaokereke I think we need to take into account the resources available to BlueSky and the resources available to mastodon. Mastodon will always be slow to evolve and because its controllers have certain convictions it will take extra time to persuade them to move to a different direction. But eventually they will get there. BlueSky may be ok today, but we have seen this play out in the past, when VC people are calling the shots we all know what happens in the end.

@mekkaokereke this is very true. This is exactly what happened in the latest UK elections as well.

@vyruss they scale better and support features that vanilla mastodon do not. They have multiple time lines, you can create user groups (this is per user) and a bunch of other stuff such as pages, clips, channels, and antennas. Read up about Misskey and Calckey and you will see.

@vyruss if you decide to do this, dont use mastodon, use either Pleroma, Misskey, or Calckey.
