FFS. This is the last fucking puff piece that should ever be written: a product of bothsideism: See, we can be fair even to this serial liar.
"Mr. Santos seems eager to test whether he can make the journey from laughingstock to legitimacy"

Having spent a little time on Bluesky (leolaporte.me) I'm here to report that I'm sticking with Mastodon.

Too many people want Bluesky to replicate Twitter - and the outrage machine is already spinning up.

The ATProtocol is interesting - but I'm not sure it's significantly better than ActivityPub.

The homegrown feel here just feels better to me. More small town than big city. But I'll keep an eye on Bluesky. I'm not writing it off yet.

@futurebird @leo
I'm also preferring Mastodon/ActivityPub but watching Bluesky with great interest (unlike Post.news). Competition can be productive. Big questions remain: How will Bluesky federate? There's no blocking there yet and troubles are beginning.

I’m not going to toss out my iPad Air for it, but the OnePlus Pad tablet - the company’s first - is easily one of the best Android tablets I’ve tried. Were I in the market for an Android-based tablet, this is the one I’d buy right now.
