       Interesting observation about social media “fun”:Some people think #Bluesky is “fun”. However, I find it anxiety-inducing and stressful. I’m not the only one who thinks so. A few autistic people say the same thing. #Calckey seems “fun” to me because I can make it be what I need it to be. For example, it’s nice that I can create antennas devoted to my special interests. @fediversenews

       @atomicpoet @fediversenews What is it they like about #BlueSky that isn't available on the #fediverse ?

       @pussista @atomicpoet @fediversenews I'm on both, and there seems to be a lot of ppl there who tried mastodon, didn't get past the choices/friction at sign-up, or didn't like the "you need to adapt to us" attitude they feel like they encountered when they gave masto a shot (real or perceived). I saw ppl  describe masto as "too eurocentric", not friendly to communities of colour, etc.I think many refugees were mourning what they lost, so just wanted a direct, easy replacement.

       @pussista @atomicpoet @fediversenews   I know its easy to roll eyes about the friction thing, but when you think about it, we're a few decades past anyone having to think about which "server" they're going to join. Even when that was a thing for email, most people still just went with what they got from their ISP. Choosing a server, then choosing an app,  not having a consistent experience, these are all new to the vast majority of users.

       @ConserveChange @pussista @fediversenews Then why is Discord so popular?

       @pussista @atomicpoet @fediversenews  also, following is just a single click, right from someone's post. I think the multi-step follow thing, which even for me is frustrating at times, is a much bigger drop-out-point for many newcomers

       @atomicpoet @pussista @fediversenews totally different use-case IMO. intentionally-bounded communities of practice, not intended as a "town square" where they can go to hear from Dril and Jake Tapper in the same feed.

       @ConserveChange @atomicpoet @pussista @fediversenewsa widely used fediverse that is still decentralized will require servers based around localities, ala #NextDoor.

       @ConserveChange The advantage is to people who are confident they can figure it out, that is not everyone. Once you are in then you need to figure out how to subdue your ego. You need to find people and their content more interesting than your own. That takes a shift from bird site training. No more coasting on sanctioned thoughts (algorithm fuckery), now you are in charge. It is scary. I am on a very academic server and had to figure out "unlisted" to post freely & sacrifice #s - magic now.
