MODERATORS
Why would people here consider Bluesky when Mastodon already exists?
Bluesky built the platform that people actually want.
Mainly an algorithmic feed and more relaxed and diverse userbase.
They captured some hype but nowadays you often see people complain that the userbase isn't diverse and that all they talk about is US politics, there's lots of dormant accounts and the active user statistics have been looking pretty bleak since early 2025.
Assuming they don't actually have 100M in funding already secured (which i doubt) I think there's some doubt over how long they'll actually be able to continue operating this way.
