Have you ever heard of the term federation-washing?

    Getting set up on Bluesky is orders of magnitude easier than Mastodon,

    I’m so tired of hearing this. Just click the mastodon.social button in the app and it’s not any different.

      Wouldn’t that mean everyone is centralized on the same instance? I don’t use Mastodon so I don’t know if it’s the same as here…

        Not everyone. Just those users who don’t care enough to be picky. I wish they would rotate the instances but this is better than nothing.

          Sorry what do you mean? I see users posting from other instances in my mastodon app (I haven’t used it much).

            Sorry, what do you mean?

            I see users posting from other instances in my mastodon app

            Which would indicate that

            everyone is centralized on the same instance?

            is incorrect.

              Idk this whole thread confuses me. I’m on est.social instance, I’m gonna assume I see everyone who hasnt excluded my instance and vice versa…

                It’s a bit more complicated than that, but yes, that’s the gist of it.

      Not setting up an account, that’s roughly the same. Adding contacts by topic, blocking topics and people with bad agendas en masse, etc. I started my Mastodon account almost a year before Bluesky. In Bluesky I had something useful in a week. In Mastodon I still don’t (and it’s not for lack of effort).

      I’ve been on Mastodon for two years now. I’m active and all.

      And yet, to this date, I still can’t find a single person in my working field, who are located within the province of Quebec.

      Bluesky? Found and added over a hundred, in mere days.

        Yeah I mean you’re making my point here. More marketshare = more leverage over users.
