Hey, I wanted to ask someone who has probably more knowledge than me about it - what’s the difference about these two services? I know Mastodon has ActivityPub, so it works with Lemmy, and BlueSky has it’s own kind of federation, but does it even has anything to federate to?
I’m asking not which one is better, I’m searching logical argument for one or other. I’m obviously more leaning toward Mastodon since I’m here, but I wanted to give my friend, who is thinking about joining, some real arguments.
To me, that’s an argument for Mastodon.
To each their own.
Could just write your tweets in notepad you know. If you don’t want anyone to see what you do.
I’m definitely one of the people who is happy to contribute via comments, but have zero interest in having “Followers”. It’s going to be very rare that I have a brand new post worth ssubmitting and dont get any kind of domamine hit from building a “following” like a ton of people seem to.
That’s why community- and post-oriented systems like Lemmy/mbin and classic forums have always made way way more sense to me.
But for some reason i’m liking Bluesky. Can’t figure out why.
