I'll admit it, I simply don't want to do Bluesky. It's petty, but I'm upset that few wanted to come with me from shitter, and those that did abandoned mastodon pretty much immediately for Bluesky. It's pretty clear that if I went I might as well start over, something I am not super excited about.

But I will ask this; if you're on Bluesky, and like it more than here, what is the reason? I understand that people need the reach and numbers, but other than that? I don't understand why.

@Alairthephoenix - I like Mastodon, but often find the lack of engagement discouraging (as well as the policing, which thankfully has died down). I rarely get any likes, rarely get any replies.

The vibe there is fairly positive, open and accepting (and in some cases too open), people are friendly for the most part, and the moderation tools are fantastic, allowing you to curate your feeds really well (and deplatform hate speech and bullying fairly well).

But I keep at it here because, well, I enjoy social media, and the people here have a different vibe than Blue sky (far more technical).

But I will admit, I prefer Bluesky to Mastodon.
