My takeaways from #BlueSky vs #Mastodon (or #fediverse in general)

• both are good, here is better, not sure BlueSky quite good enough to properly use in parallel.
• features-wise both BlueSky and Masto should crib off each other.
• BlueSky's weaknesses and Masto's weaknesses compensate each other well. So AT was a mistake.
• ideally AP should incorporate some of the technical improvements of AT and both should natively bridge.
• if this doesn't happen displacing Birdsite will take much longer.

@DuncanMSussexPol Thanks for sharing this analysis. I haven’t kept up with bluesky so I’m fascinated to hear your impressions. When I was there (starting around the 50,000 user mark) the atmosphere was described by someone as a silicon valley cocaine party – not quite fair but funny, and not altogether off base
