I have a suspicion that a lot of the defensive maneuvering on Mastodon is happening because Mastodon fans know that the network absolutely cannot compete on user friendliness and basic social functionality, so they’re leaning hard into the things it does get right—and then, in some cases, trying to shame people into not even thinking about trying a competing network.

Only a matter of time before someone wrote an “Anti-Mastodon/Pro-Bluesky” blog post.
@kissane did just that.
Much of her criticism is legit.
However a lot of it suffers from “shiny object syndrome” and doesn’t acknowledge that Bluesky is not decentralized yet.
To which she’ll probably accuse me of being a “Linux on the desktop” guy.
But Mastodon’s problems may become Bluesky’s problems because of decentralization 🙃
