@danilo sure, Bluesky will probably win because money gets results really fast in the world we live in.

Still feels a lot like we're casually walking into a "... but it might work for us" meme.

@danilo Ok, so folks might not care about the details. But I had to leave Twitter and lost half of my friends. Moving to Bluesky doesn't fundamentally solve this issue, just punts it down the line again. Moving to a decentralized social network does.

I think folks do care about not losing a bunch of their friends in the future, or having their platform run by a fascist.

@danilo So if you're crapping on Mastodon - agreed, and more power to you. But from what I know of the architecture of Bluesky, it's not a real decentralized social network (the ability to run your own PDS notwithstanding). Maybe I'm wrong though?

So to me the comparison isn't completely apples to apples.

@danilo I'm also pretty frustrated with Mastodon - I thought Ruby was supposed to enable rapid development, but Masto progress seems slow as fuck?

That said, there's more nuance here. I see this as a three tiered thing:
* decentralized social networking
* Fedi itself
* Mastodon

I don't really care about Mastodon itself, I'm sure better servers are possible.
I semi-care about Fedi, it's a good idea but to me it seems like somewhat overly-complex.
Decentralized social networking is the big one.
