        Also a bunch of hinky weirdness and slowness.

        The Technology Connections guy (Alec) threw some shade on Mastodon yesterday that seemed like a good example:

        My favorite thing about Bluesky is that I haven’t gotten a stream of notifications that I’ve been tagged in a post on a weird fork of the software which my client doesn’t parse correctly so I only see one side of a conversation.

        Sure, but there are other ActivityPub protocol softwares that have quote replies and moderation, that aren’t Mastodon. I think the challenge is getting the average user to seek out an instance running one of those softwares and not just mastodon dot social.

          Problem is there’s no marketing money to make the better platforms more widely known because there’s not as much monetization of the users to fund it.
