Is it just the momentum and word of mouth, or are there improved features as well?

    I like Mastodon and the Fediverse, I really do, but I just can’t deny that all the good posters that made Twitter enjoyable moved to Bluesky. My Mastodon feed is nothing but journalists, activists, developers, but very little fun shitposting.

      See, that’s exactly why I like Mastodon and want nothing to do with Bluesky. Sounds like we’re both happy this way.

        That’s fine, I just want either of them to actually kill twitter for good though and it just doesn’t look like it’s gonna be Mastodon. With Threads potentially joining the Fediverse, I guess who knows.

        You’re not missing much. I had a BlueSky account for all 2 days before deleting it. Literally people begging for follows and clout chasing non stop. It’s just twitter again with all the garbage that comes with it. Mastodon is far far far FAR better.

      If you attempt to shitpost on Mastodon things don’t usually go very well. The vibe had to match twitter circa 2013 or else it would never have felt safe enough for the first colonizing species of memes like alf hog to develop like the first plants in a lava field
