Here @kissane finally acknowledges the elephant in the room.
Right now Bluesky seems nice. Its onboarding experience is better. Search works. The community seems friendly.
But let’s not forget that Bluesky’s main purpose is to decentralize, and on that point, they haven’t done so.
Comparing Bluesky to Mastodon is almost frivolous until Bluesky goes public and allows multiple nodes to connect.
