Amazing to see Mastodon instead of Bluesky there ! Too many people falling for the Bluesky trap…
Yeah, I’m surprised how many go to Bluesky. It’s just Twitter all over again, controlled by a single company.
It wasn’t the “controlled by a single company” part that made me leave Twitter, honestly. It was the Nazi CEO…
that’s the best part, just as twitter was sold to a nazi bluesky can be sold to a nazi too!
that’s what can happen when it is controlled by a single company
Then we’ll leave Bluesky too. 🤷
I’m with you on this one. Can’t knock every single product owned by a company assuming all CEOs are Nazis…
But a big red flag is when a company sells itself to a billionaire, or goes public on the stock market. That’s when we should start to worry.
The thing that make them move to Bluesky, its Elon, not the federation (Which is a shame tbh)
Tbh I am on Bluesky more than Mastodon. Bluesky just feels easier to use. Normal users don’t care about federation. They want the app to work easily for them. Mastodon requires a bit to get a good feed etc. Bluesky you can be lazy. Wish Mastodon had like a default “what’s hot” or “Discover” feed. Really helps find people to follow as well.

You mean like Mastodon’s “Trending” and “Discover” feeds?
I don’t think that ease of use is the problem. The problem is, people want an exact copy. Most people don’t like changes, they just hope that the alternative is the same, just without the issues they leaving it. Same expectations for GIMP and Linux operating systems… (for the normie at least).
The last couple mastodon updates made it easier to access the trending feed (which afaik has existed since 2021) and added features like quote posts. Bluesky starter packs and custom shareable feeds are definitely its major perks.
The odds though bluesky will get bought up by right wing billionaires in the next 10 years is almost 100% unless there’s a major change in media management laws so don’t get too attached to bluesky since there is like a nonzero chance trump jr buys it with his crypto bribes.
That’a trading freedom for “convenience”
LibreOffice does, what politicians are too scared to do.
Release the Epstein files?
Hehe, unfortunately not. But maybe you can read them soon with their brilliant software!
Libreofficedoes, what Nintendon’t.
What took so long?!
based as hell
Yayy infact most OSSs should switch
Honestly floored at how many open-source projects don’t even HAVE a Mastodon presence. Like, I get it, you need a social media presence where your users are (and at least a presence on the big, billionaire-owned platforms to at LEAST have a hedge against copycats/scammers), but at least HAVE one there. And have a Lemmy community! Yoof.
It’s even worse to see open sources projects use Discord for communication (looking at you, Bazzite)
Same best approach would be to just have a presence on legacy social media and the open source people social media
Yeah they’re open-source minded, this totally aligns with their ideals. Good for them.
I mean if libre stuff is not getting off we cannot expect much from others but even this suggests they are reducing their xitter activity which is likely the way to go. Do a minimal on it to keep the recognition and expansively post in the federation.
For those considering, always remember that you don’t have to „move“, but can simply use the platforms in parallel. It’s a good compromise if leaving the more active network feels too heavy.
Libreoffice is great !
Thank you
They should have done that a long time ago.
Good for them. LibreOffice is a decent replacement for Microsoft. LibreOffice comes standard on most Linux distros
And so should all the other OSS projects.
