When even Cory Doctrow starts to sound like an optimist I have to give myself a reality check as it usually means I'm heading off the deep end. But in this case it just rubs me the wrong way that he talks about Mastodon and Bluesky in the same breath -- one is not like the other.

I specifically mean when it comes to supporting either Mastodon or Bluesky. I’ve only started reading his work the last few months after, well everything, so I’m not terribly familiar with his entire writings.

I’d agree with your point as I don’t really care for his political writings as I don’t really find them realistic. I had to roll my eyes at his post of how to cut the federal budget.
