    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.

      What an absolutely braindead reply.

      Mastodon had a bad experience for that person.
      Blue sky didn’t.
      Their experience wasn’t unique.
      End of story.

      You’re doing mental gymnastics to misinterpret their argument. Nobody said they want centralized social media you absolute lemon. They want a user experience that doesn’t suck. Right now, blue sky provides that while mastodon doesn’t.

      “Oh but bsky’s federation doesn’t solve Mastodon’s problem” they don’t have to solve Mastodon’s problem.

      Elitist neckbeards like you are the reason the fediverse isn’t fun.
