    See this is part of the problem.

    Dude was like “look at this objectively terrible experience I actually had”
    And you are like “yeah well that could happen to bsky in theory too, so they’re just as bad!”

    I’ve been a mastodon user for almost 2 years, but I never use it because finding interesting people to subscribe to who are actually active is difficult.
    I haven’t been using bsky because I’ve really been hoping mastodon takes off, but whenever I hear about how easy it is to onboard and find interesting content, I think about switching.

      I mean if a centralized social media is what you want just join threads and cut the chase. The complaint they made, bluesky’s federation does not solve. It is only not apparent because they have only one instance right now, similar to threads and Twitter.
