@hallenbeck @spurs personally, I only want to deal with one social media site & after trashing Fbook then Twitter, presently it’s Masto. I haven’t looked at any other site as a result. If BlueSky is that significantly better, then perhaps I will check it out, but available time is always the issue.

@SwellWines @spurs I'm sticking around and won't be going over to Bluesky any time soon. I don't think it's significantly better, but it looks a lot more like Twitter so I think it suits those leaving Twitter who still actually liked Twitter pre-Musk.

@SwellWines @spurs Btw, if anyone wants a Mastodon experience that looks more like Twitter and Bluesky (or you're looking to recommend Masto to someone leaving Twitter/Bluesky), check out https://indieweb.social/. It uses @rolle's excellent Bird Site UI theme (https://github.com/ronilaukkarinen/mastodon-bird-ui) and is run by @tchambers, one of the most decent, smart, thoughtful, and active fedi admins around.

Plenty more instances that use Bird Site UI here: https://github.com/ronilaukkarinen/mastodon-bird-ui?tab=readme-ov-file#list-of-instances-that-use-mastodon-bird-ui

@hallenbeck @SwellWines @spurs @tchambers Thank you for the mention. The list is a bit outdated, lately also Vivaldi implemented it 🙌 https://vivaldi.com/blog/vivaldi-social-latest-update-built-in-translate-and-themes/
