If Mastodon wanted to be preferred, it should have been better. I moved to Mastodon over a year ago when the Twitter sale first happened. It was not great then and it’s gotten slightly worse since. I created a Bluesky account two days ago and it already offers exactly the experience I missed from Twitter before Elon.

Would it be better if Mastodon was good and the federated FOSS option was superior? Sure, absolutely. But, that scenario isn’t even close to the case we are presented with.

Can you give actual examples?

I feel the only thing that Mastodon 'misses' is some feed to get you addicted.

[-] Fediverse_Champion@lemm.ee 10 points 1 month ago

Seconded, some specific examples would be helpful.

Which is precisely what makes people actually use twitter

Might be paranoid, but I feel as if alot of the anti-mastodon sentiment is astroturfing. Might just be me and my schizo anti-corpo mind though.

the astroturfing is happening but don't fall into the trap of thinking that makes it less real. astroturfing works or they wouldn't do it.

I’ve been a heavy Mastodon user for two years, and I honestly don’t see why so many people on Lemmy give it so much shit. Certainly not in favour of the likes of Bluesky.

I get WAY more engagement with my posts on there than I ever did on Twitter. And maybe I’m just at an age where I don’t give a shit about celebrity, but I couldn’t care less that all the Big Names have gone to Bluesky and Threads. It’s great not seeing the same people being shared into my TL all the time.

I've got a bsky account too but I get way more engagement on my fedi accounts. I've been building up my follows for 15 years on the fedi so bsky never had a chance to catch up. it probably never will.

15... Years? On the fediverse? How'd ya manage that without time travel?

[-] JoYo@lemmy.ml 19 points 1 month ago

The fediverse is older than mastodon.

Friendica and GNU Social/StatusNet date back to 2010. That's nearly 15 years ago.

Huh, didn't realise it was that old. TiL I guess.
