Never said it was a good idea or that safari is better

My favourite map without NZ, was a map that included the southern island but not the northern island. So the country was unrecognisable.

80% of the US population is in the East. The high plateus of the US and the rockies are extremely sparsely populated

Yep definitely. I can open 100+ safari tabs but my shitty old laptop will crash if I have 20 on chrome or firefox or brave

Obviously it’s fucked up how it was used in the above article.

And obviously if you’re not black you should never use it. But you’re assuming I’m not black with your comment.

Important caveat. It’s become a common word in some varieties of black-american english and black people aren’t racist for using it.

lmao good one

Sorry I didn’t mean to sound cocky. It sounds like a byproduct of slow federation. As I edited my comment almost immediately (before you replied) after posting it, to correct said number and provide a source, but it doesn’t look like it got to your end.

Also MAU stands for monthly active users and not total users. But I realise that acronym may not be widespread.

Wonderful comment. I’ve been thinking similarly for a while. Nice too see it put out there.

So bluesky has 5 million monthly active users while mastodon has 1 million?

Thats a fivefold difference.

True. So both have around 10 million total users. Bluesky has no monthly active user statistic. But around 1 million daily posters according to this https://bsky.jazco.dev/stats

While Mastodon has ~1 million monthly active users.

So sounds like bluesky’s got a lot more activity with that many daily posters, as of now, anyways.

Even if your numbers are true. Mastodon has existed for 7 years. Bluesky for less than one.

So logically the precentage of users to active users should be much higher on Bluesky.

Also number of accounts is possibly a bad metric to judge mastodon because of the federation.

For example, I have 8 mastodon accounts (tried a couple different instances and programmed a couple rss bots to give me a news feed).

I mean thanks to bridgy you can communicate across blusky and mastodon. For example people can follow my mastodon account on bluesky.

And bluesky has gained > 8 million users in the past couple months. Mastodon has 900 odd thousand MAU.

So clearly the majority have gone to one.

More likely twitter users.

And yes it’s corporate which is less good than mastodon.

But it is add-free, has a working algorithm, is feature rich, is open-source, lets you self-host etc. Full defederation is coming soon too.

Having used both bluesky (self hosted) and mastodon. The experience is simply far better on bluesky.

Unlike lemmy vs reddit. Where (except for active user count) there isn’t really a tradeoff. Lemmy is simply far better.

cheers

If you defederate from lemmy.ml most these commenters dissapear
