One last question: I haven’t seen much Mastodon hype here. Any reason why goons aren’t heading there/choosing it instead?

To me, it's the culture. Most of the servers I saw were full of people posting like they were on Linkedin or Facebook and frankly that's absolutely not my scene

And then there's the small problem of instance admins being able to read your DMs whenever they feel like it. Sure, Twitter moderators can do that as well, but a) they all got fired by now and b) if they do so, I get to sue them under the GDPR.

Yeah that’s my issue with it. There’s nobody cool on there and it’s mostly a bunch of boring randos talking about stuff I’m not invested in. Bluesky at least has some interesting people I’d follow on Twitter and some good shitposting

Haha, I like this. That definitely matches my feeling on it; I made an account and logged in and looked around and I was stunned by how boring all the conversations I saw were. Now here I am a year later and I went to check it out and I was immediately struck by how the interface looks like Tweetdeck and just felt kind of nauseous and closed the tab

Edit: wow I apparently created my account in JULY OF THIS YEAR and it was so boring my sign-up day has continued moving farther back in my mind apparently

Mastodon just took existing open sourced social media code, slapped their branding on it and tried to coax people into joining through vague "we're not twitter" advertising.

You know how outlook and Gmail are owned by separate companies, and each have their own TOS they can enforce on their users. Yet they can still send emails to each other?

Replace email with tweets.


All these servers can talk with each other, they can also block each other. Mostly manifests as servers who hate Nazis blocking servers that either are OK with Nazis or just poo poo at moderating and banning them

Yeah the key difference between bluesky and mastodon is that Bluesky has a central service that acts as the basis to start out, whereas where you start your Mastodon experience is ??? based on ???? and huh????

Mastodon is all new code created by them (that they open sourced); but it was written to be compliant with open standards that previously existed at the time (the OStatus standard, now superceded by ActivityPub). It's like if you were to write your own email client -- the client itself is yours, but you're still following the networking protocols everyone else follows to send and receive mail.

Bluesky chose to make their own protocol instead of using ActivityPub, because ActivityPub has one major glaring flaw (you don't own your identity) that they wanted to correct.

My first five minutes on Bsky had me encounter a bunch of people dunking on fascists, shitposting, and shitposting about dunking on fascists. It'll probably go to poo poo when it opens up, but for now it's a fun way to scroll for a couple of minutes, and most of the time I'll find at least something funny to share with my friends.

I don't know if I missed the boat or something but I really never found anything like that on Mastodon. It was very nice, and it had that vibe of being populated by LibreOffice and GIMP users, but it wasn't really very entertaining.

That said, if BS crashes and burns and the fun moves to Mastodon, I'll be on board.

nobody cares


the information security community saw the writing on the wall this time last year and jumped ship almost completely wholesale over to Mastodon instances hosted by some of our luminaries

it's actually really drat nice on masto in this one case, but that's because the information is security practice is a very specific, niche thing where a lot of people already know each other or already know what they're looking for

it's not a replacement for the kind of early 2010s shitposting that bluesky enables

Took me several months, but what's funny is they still send you the code even if you've already made an account with someone else's code.

You can then gift that code to someone else.
