#Bluesky or #Mastodon, I'm happy that people are leaving Twitter more post-election.

Just like I did with #threads I felt it's important to try it before I criticize it.

Bluesky is nice, but feels very stripped down from Mastodon. It's not really decentralized though and I'm having a hard time figuring out who to follow.

I'm genuinely confused why people see it as more "user-friendly" compared to Mastodon. The "discover feed" feels a bit "white noise". But early days... Will keep an eye.

Keep in mind, Mastodon, along with the other server softwares, has made massive strides in being easier to use and understand in the past two years. I think a lot of those people are talking about not understanding how to initially populate their feed and not understanding how to navigate cross-server interactions, but I also wonder how many of the people who say it's not user-friendly tried it 2 years ago when they were trying to leave Twitter in a rage and either were too frustrated to give it a good shot or were confused by something that is no longer confusing.

It's also possible that people attempting to use Mastodon primed them for some understanding of signing up for a social media Network: keep in mind that a lot of these people had not joined any social networks outside of making a Twitter account years ago.
