I've had a lot of people ask how BlueSky compares to Mastodon and the Fediverse.

@xChaos @FediTips @janxdevil Tbh, power users also like having certain basics like working search or seeing complete threads (power user here)

You can see complete threads and complete search results on Mastodon if you have just one instance without any federation.
That's what BlueSky currently does, it's all on one instance.
But if you run on just one instance, it makes it incredibly easy for Musk etc to buy you out.

@FediTips sure, but what I’m saying is that in order to convince the masses to join mastodon over bsky, we need to make it not just theoretically better but also easy to use and connect.
I’ve read the comments, spoken to colleagues who joined this then that, and the consensus is that “mastodon is hard, difficult UI” compared to bsky.
For context, my friends are scientists with very little time. -

If they have no time or will to consider sustainability, then they will end up having these same Musk-type problems happen to them again and again. I'm not saying this with any sort of judgement against them, it is just the consequence of their choices.
It's much easier to use a single-instance network, but that makes it easy to be taken over.
It's much easier to use a network that has massive amounts of funding from VCs, but that makes it certain to enshittify and exploit its users.
