Is Mastodon ready for the flood? Or will it be Bluesky benefiting most?
Most people would probably flock to Bluesky as the whole federation aspect still seems to be hard to understand for people and Bluesky is just easier to understand for people because it’s not really federated all that well. Mastodon also has more rough edges that might turn people away.
I agree. The argument that the approach is not so different from choosing an email provider to be able to send email to anyone has been too little made.
They should wait until Wayland has feature parity.
Doing it right now is ecessive.
When it comes to privacy, Bluesky (owned by Bluesky Social, PBC or public benefit corporation) is not Signal (owned and operated by the Signal Foundation). Direct messages on Bluesky are unencrypted, and they collect quite a lot of personal data (see section 8B in their privacy policy), they use these data for marketing and "other purposes" (section 10), and share them with "third-party services" and "business partners" (section 11). Mastodon should get its act together.
