The only thing we currently don't see on #Mastodon is the media, especially local media. But I kinda don't miss the media being entangled in social media so much. It often doesn't bring any extra value to it now that I think of it. Seeing the handles like this make me think "oh, they're on Twitter, I wonder what they are doing there" and that's about it. I probably wouldn't follow push-style posts anyway. #SocialMedia #Media

@rolle its weird, they should be on here with their own server. Would make all the sense since they could verify as a source and also content moderate properly.

@taymaz Yeah. I don't know even one Finnish media company that are on Mastodon. The one in question here is MTV3 and they have only one article about Mastodon: https://www.mtvuutiset.fi/artikkeli/saako-mastodonissa-torayttaa-mita-tahansa-nama-asiat-suosiotaan-kasvattavasta-somealustasta-taytyy-tietaa/8565298

@rolle Imagine if they were all on substack and each follow meant another series of e-mails. Substack is really noisy, even when you don't visit the site.

@rolle @taymaz Mastodon should thrive to be something else. I don't think it's going to happen for Mastodon if Bluesky succeeds, which is fine. I have been tracking where media goes, and US media is very eager to do accounts in Bluesky: NPR, Washington Post, The Nation, Time, The Intercept, The Onion... and the list goes on already in Bluesky. It's wild how well they've gotten the US media landscape, even though the app is basically a single broken textarea with glitches.

@rolle Events seem to be largely missing too. At least those Iād like to follow are mainly on Instagram and Twitter. Same for clubs and associations.

@tero True. I don't miss them as I don't go to events or do any group activities :blob_smile_sweat:

@Ciantic @rolle Kind of weird still to reinvent the wheel instead of using #ActivityPub but I suppose they want to remain in control of their protocol..

@taymaz @rolle There is some of "Not Invented Here" syndrome, but Bluesky is also a fundamentally different way to build a social media where *all* content is searchable and indexable. For this reason, Bluesky can do big-data-firehose that everything is public. With ActivityPub at the protocol level, it assumes the 1-to-1 connections, this creates a cultural clash where some think it's not okay to index content and make it searchable.
