@BlackAzizAnansi I mean, I know the Mastodon team has added some nice features for filtering notifications in the recent update. So I hope that helps folks manage their experience on here better.
And other than that, we just have to keep calling out and reporting bad behavior. I know more changes aimed at people's safety are coming!

@BlackAzizAnansi not in meaningful numbers really
during Elon Musk Events, such as him yesterday nerfing how blocks work on X, it all goes to Bluesky
fedi had 15k new accounts (mostly Misskey, aka Japan, not Mastodon, interestingly) in the last 24h, which is an average nr for fedi https://mastodon.social/@fediversecounter/113322675829380527
bluesky has 500k new accounts in last 24h: https://bsky.app/profile/jaz.bsky.social/post/3l6pw4tsjyv2o

Good statistics, thanks ... so, it depends on whether "the fediverse" includes Bluesky. I think it does (for one thing thanks to Bridgy Fed connectivity is better to Bluesky than to Threads, which almost everybody considers part of the fediverse), but opinions differ.
Tactically, it's really bizarre to me that people who are so insistent that the fediverse *doesn't* include Bluesky think this is better positioning. Do they really think it's better to say "the fediverse hasn't grown even though millions of people are leaving Twitter" than it is to say "the fediverse is growing"? Apparently so.

@jdp23 @BlackAzizAnansi yeah, fair point on not being great tactically.
that said, im coming back a bit on seeing the atmosphere as part of the fediverse. Like, you can make the argument for Bluesky, but much more difficult once you start to include all the other stuff people are building on atproto. It also makes it more difficult to distinguish the primary offerings of each protocol: many interconnecting nodes for activitypub, and single identity for atproto

I agree about the ATmosphere -- I see it as a fediverse in its own right, and think that Bluesky's in both. From the ActivityPub perspective, Bluesky's a single large instance, where most people haven't enabled federation to other AP instances -- just like Threads and Flipboard.
