#Reddit #Twitter…and so on. Again, own your own content. #Mastodon and #ActivityPub are nowhere near perfect but those plus #RSS are net gains for an open web.
-
Yeah @film_girl is exactly right. #Mastodon doesn't have to get "more followers than Twitter or be more popular than Bluesky to win". I don't think #Mastodon is going away and there are multiple winners. But as @ben points out: "Can a developer take your protocol, without permission or pushback, and build something meaningful in under…

Listened to the latest @atpfm and could relate to @marcoarment story about cheerleaders and social groups far too well (for me it was 5th grade). #Mastodon and #BlueSky are both places worthy of being a some part of – for now – for different reasons.
-
#Bluesky rolls out very very basic moderation tools today. But i'm actually more interested in some recent information shared about making your own algorithms. Unpopular opinion on #Mastodon but I think algorithms CAN BE USEFUL THINGS. Especially if you can create your *own* (which I do to various degrees on social), but not when they…

User Growth at #Bluesky, #Mastodon, and Twitter via @pxlnv https://pxlnv.com/linklog/users-bluesky-mastodon/ "It all reminds me of an earlier era. I like how this is going."

Another day another "#fediverse and/or #mastodon will win" post in apparent reaction to… something. https://stefanbohacek.com/blog/yes-the-fediverse-will-win/ First off: I agree think some of arguments are sound. Fedi isn't going away. Donation models work. But face it – Fedi will never attract majority. Nor do they want/should to. Currently as alt. go #bluesky (still in diapers) gets…

#Mastodon is till the place I enjoy the most and get the most interaction. But with #bluesky I have to admit it's interesting (pros and cons) to be a part of a social network that is only 60k+. In some ways it seems almost a perfect size.

What people on #Mastodon and #Bluesky say about each other (part 1). It's a past time to talk about other social networks on the social network you're on. š
-
"#Mastodon Has Already Won" https://d-s.sh/2023/mastodon-has-already-won/ I agree with this here. Judge this community on merits like these vs what other social platforms (some of which are getting some attention, some of which aren't even at a 1.0 version) are doing.

Hearing more about some of the smerkness on #Mastodon from more tech podcasts. @viticci summarizes what Iāve seen pretty well.

#Mozilla setting up shop on #Mastodon and trying to "reinvent content moderation". "Itās a social network that doesnāt try to be neutral and isnāt attempting to preserve free speech. Itās trying to make the internet a nicer place to be." @theverge https://www.theverge.com/23710406/mozilla-social-mastodon-fediverse-moderation

@gruber makes this as scary as it should sound. https://daringfireball.net/linked/2023/05/02/npr-musk-handle This is why even if you DONāT intend to have your own site or blog and not āown your own contentā at LEAST have your own DOMAIN. Verification (#Mastodon) and/or usernames (#BlueSky) should be table stakes for any mass social platform. #Twitter

Apparently Angry #Mastodon has pivoted from complaining about #Twitter to putting down #BlueSky which hasn't even really gotten started. Let's focus on what's great and can be improved here in this community. </$0.02>

It's funny how over on Twitter there's a positive vibe about #Bluesky but almost completely opposite from what comments I've seen so far on #Mastodon. Not sure if people realize Bluesky is barely a private beta with almost no features (It's BuddyPress UI folks) or it's a kind of attitude that Mastodon has gotten noticed…
-
"Notes to Self on #Mastodon" I was (still am to a degree) on a similar vibe to @jimniels on a few of Mastodon's weaknesses. Mainly that you lose content if you need to move from an instance (and that's assuming a good move – you in theory can lose more). https://blog.jim-nielsen.com/2023/notes-to-self-on-mastodon/
-
Unpopular opinion here but #Mastodon search and discovery at times as bad or worse then Twitter. I saw a post on another server that later I wanted to search for and my instance couldn't find it… i can't check out some posts from folks I stumble across unless I go to their servers. Browsers extensions…

How to live-blog ā using #Mastodon, #WordPress and #Peertube via @jon https://crossborderrail.trainsforeurope.eu/how-to-live-blog-using-mastodon-wordpress-and-peertube/

Twitter's use continues to lessen for me – but one exception is AI and GPT news. Not much talk and showing off on #Mastodon but using a Twitter list and search i'm seeing cool new stuff every day. So using Twitter less but more effectively is a win.
-
In reply to @davidbisset. And for the record, I do think #Mastodon is a success DESPITE the issues I observe with it (onboarding, etc.).

In order for #Mastodon to succeed Twitter doesn't have to fail.

One Foot in #Twitter and One in #Mastodon https://pxlnv.com/linklog/twitter-mastodon-straddle/ "Twitter does not need to lose for Mastodon to become a successful network; it already is successful for many people, despite ā or perhaps because of ā its size."

For some reading this on #Mastodon some of this might fall into "hard to swallow pills" meme territory but i'm mostly agreeing with @andy on most of on why #Mastodon although still superior long-term… is a little icky lately. https://andy-bell.co.uk/i-think-im-not-alone-that-mastodon-is-giving-me-the-ick/ It's mainly seeing how someone references "birdsite" and the "we are trying so much not…
