Remember that Twitter is also giving a platform to neo-Nazis. That's why it's important everyone stop using Twitter and switch to alternatives such as Bluesky and Mastodon.

I wanted to get into Mastodon, but I can see why it didn't take off as much compared to Bluesky. It didn't prepopulate the home feed on first sign up (it was empty), and only gives a small selection of people to follow and you only see their posts. Bluesky does a similar thing, but the home feed uses suggestions based on the people you initially follow to populate the home feed with others as well.

I think mass adoption would be easier for Mastodon to achieve with that kind of algorithmically generated prepopulation.

Also obligatory Fuck X.

mastodon/the fediverse could learn a lot in taking the ability or users to create custom feeds, labellers, and moderation services like on bsky, honestly.

What's kinda funny, this is exactly why I like Mastodon. I'm only seeing what I want.

But I spent a bit of time everyday checking out people that the people I followed had reposted and various recommdation lists. Then discovered hashtags, now I collect those. #bloomscrolling and #caturday amongst the first to freshen up the feed.

It took a few minutes a day and it was kind of fun finding communities and people.

I'd rather Bluesky properly federate so I could have Mark Hamill and a few others in my Mastodon feed without having to check Bluesky too.

Mastodon is like going to the local pub, I see my people. Bluesky is like going to Summerfest or your insert favorite huge music fest with tons of famous bands and tiny side stages and super crowded and it's easy to lose your friends.
