It's weird to me how obsessed some people are with proving to the world that their social media platform of choice is superior. The Fediverse works, we have content, and anyone who decides to seek out a platform that offers what the Fediverse offers can join. Tell your friends about your experience if they might be interested but if they don't stick with it you don't have to be all salty about it.

Agreed. It's silly.

I like Mastodon. It's like social media from 2010, chronological, only seeing what you want, great curation tools, and no ads or stupid algorithm. Moderation is also way better on Mastodon, though it can vary by instance.

I haven't used BlueSky, but I imagine it feels pretty familiar, which is what a lot of people want, and that's cool too.

They can both be good things.
