I really wish more online personalities would move to Mastodon, right now it's hard to justify when most of what I use Twitter for is to follow different online creators and such. And just none of them are moving over yet. It looks like Bluesky is where a lot of them are looking. It's also decentralized, but honestly I'm not a big fan of jumping on another Jack Dorsey project. I don't like ActivityPub as a tech myself and would be more interested in a holepunch kind of approach myself, but honestly it's the most mature decentralized tech there is right now and it seems like the world is moving that way. Just wish the world would move quicker!
Jack Dorsey is the reason why some of these perennially online personalities moved to Bluesky. The AT protocol maybe decentralized but there's no unofficial instances of it yet (afaik).
I'm on both, and both vibes are pretty great. I prefer Mastodon simply because the app is superbly made, tiny file size, no trackers etc. Bluesky is a buggy mess right now. Also, 3rd party apps on Mastodon are amazing.
Word. Mastodon is fabulous. There's not very many people, but I haven't encountered many assholes. And does it ever run smooth!
It's the best made app imo, with the best performance and design. If I had to rank them, I would rank Mastodon > Twitter > Threads > Bluesky.
