Can someone explain to me how Bluesky is different than Mastodon and if it’s not different why they bothered creating it when Mastodon exists? I truly don’t get it.

It’s likely that when Bluesky rolls out in full, advertisers will have the ability to place ads in networks or user interest groups similar to Reddit’s framework. This user self-selection will be extremely useful to businesses running targeted campaigns.

So…Mastodon…with ads?

[-] nutsack@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

i don't see what similarities to mastodon it has

They built their own federated protocol and it's a microblog

[-] nutsack@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

it isn't very federal at the moment

[-] ahriboy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 10 months ago

If AT protocol goes public, other software might federate with existing Bluesky servers. Bluesky servers should have a set of filters that would keep safe for everyone joining the chosen server.

Give Gargron time he'll add ads and buddy up with Meta while signing mystery NDAs

That's a serious accusation. Got anything to back it up?

[-] Natanael@slrpnk.net 3 points 10 months ago

They'd have to do that in custom feeds (which people can ignore) or on 3rd party account servers (which people also can ignore, just like in Mastodon)
