Bluesky vs. Mastodon is not as black and white as many seem to think.

Let me explain why. 🧵

1. A Twitter founder funds and advises Bluesky.

Okay, a Twitter founder (@ev) runs a for-profit instance, and another (@biz) has offered to advise Mastodon.

2. Bluesky accepted VC money.

A VC firm owns 3 of the top 5 largest Mastodon servers

3. An evil corporation (Twitter) helped develop Bluesky.

An evil corporation (Google) helped develop the Fediverse

I have further thoughts here...
