       It's amazing to see #Mastodon and the #Fediverse recommended more but in turn Bluesky is also named as a "good alternative"I would like to argue it's not;If the company behind Bsky decides to stop and shut down their services, your self-hosted PDS can't do anything anymore without all infrastructure neededOfc one could self-host this but this is a true nightmare and far from a good solutionSo yeah, I feel moving to Bluesky is just moving the problem, it's not a solution

       @stux When I left twitter & landed here, that was enough for me.  No interest in threads, no interest in Bsky, have even unfollowed bridged accounts.This. Is. Enough. For. Me.  How much of my time do I want to spend on social media?Just this much.

       @stux yup, when I first heard about BS and it's different servers, I thought it was a good thing, but after seeing that it's basically just one lever, it's just weird.People told me that they felt that mastodon/fediverse was too complicated because of the different instances, which I can't fathom. What exactly is so difficult about that?The more likely reason why so many people moved to BS is that they heard that it's from the creators of Twitter and so it was a known application

       Personally I have run both services, Mastodon for a long time now and it scales very well and is relative "cheap" to host this with this many people using itWith Bluesky the most I could host was a public PDS and a front end but it turned out that's only a super small part of itAnd let's take a worst case, lets say Mastodon starts accepting bribes from Crypto companies or creating AI apps, we can always fork the code and go our own way(those things named above are things Bsky has done)

       @stux and that doesn't even take into account the toxic shit their ceo did and does and also not the tune when they banned a user because the Turkish Nazi dictator felt insulted by the fact that turkey genocides Kurds.

       @stux I was on Bluesky for a while, long after I quit Twitter but got an invite to it.I didn't last long on there, to be honest but I also imagine that a lot of people on there would go back to Twitter before they come here... ... no evidence for saying that. I just get the impression that many people don't really understand why they left Twitter (often under duress from peers).
