That's also keeping in mind Bluesky is still in beta.

I think it will definitely play into people's choice of where to go. Mastodon and the Fediverse have the benefit of time. They are ready to go now while Bluesky is playing a little bit of catch up.

Like the one problem I see that is hurting Bluesky right now is just the signup limitations. Bluesky is potentially missing thousands of new signups that are being picked up by competitors or the fediverse.

The network effect will drive the traffic. It's just an arms race for now.

IIRC Jack is here directing the show in some capacity so I'd hope the lessons learned from Twitter can help Bluesky from repeating them. I think it'll definitely be interesting to see where people ultimately choose to move to once the dust settles a bit.

It brings a lot of the familiar UI back which I greatly appreciate. I think it's definitely a strong competitor, it should attempt to avoid repeating the same pitfalls of Twitter if they want to avoid recreating the same situations though.

I’ve used Mastodon on and off since 2017. I’m instance admin for one and in my experience it’s not bad, it’s just different.

The big thing Mastodon doesn’t do is firehose all known instances into the federated timeline so getting started is a bit difficult cause the timeline feels slow.
