Mastodon moderation is also absolute garbage.

That's not consciously why, but it's certainly part of the stack of reasons that made BS blow up despite coming in from the rear in both building the tech/site and having absorbed the first wave of Twitter departures.

Incidentally, I have a dormant Masto account and active accounts here and on Bluesky.

Masto is a big disappointment and surprisingly bad fit for the Fedi/AP structure.

So you turned to Lemmy. Great choice.

Not having an algorithm means you need to curate your content.

If you drink from the fire hose you're only going to get bean juice.

You should just use Linux.

Linux, AI, LGBT and Trump/Musk. Everyone, every day. People need to know about those subjects, but it's awful to restrict the diversity of the world to the same recycled messages. It's like hearing Lois Griffin saying 9/11 time and time again 😅.

sorry but we cant just say no to an oportunity to suggest to you use linux

Lol I'm a linux user, but I rarely see content about it on Mastodon. I try to center over conversations and so and try to keep Tech content here in Lemmy.

You literally create your feed and select the people you want to connect to, it's easier to control the things you see ;)

Bluesky didn't start with millions. Europeans chose it when there were none. Like Facebook getting its start because Savarin used his college frat connections across the country to get the ball rolling, I'm sure there were paid influencers who got things moving for Bluesky.

This a bold comment to post on Lemmy

That’s not true. I got 20 likes this week!

I have never heard of Masturbon lol

I tried making an account on bluesky. I was using orbot at the time. It let me make an account and then instant acocunt suspension. Similar to other platforms.

I appreciate the platform preemptively stopping me from wasting my time. I should have known better.

Let me check your comments real quick. Yeeeeaaaahhhh, that's what I thought. "FreedomAdvocate", it was so obvious.

The important part on mastodon is that you have the choice to join whatever place you want, look at the stuff you want, have moderation as much or less as you want and cant be forced to anything really.

The fedi in total is about freedom, not privacy. Privacy in public posts is pretty much nonexistent. The only "privacy" argument i can think of is you cant be forced to link accounts and you can make thousands which makes it hard to grasp who you are today.

Still a vastly better idea than bluesky.

I agree with you in part, but I find just wanted to put the footnote that good moderation isn’t censorship (unless it’s literally being used to suppress alternative viewpoints). Good moderation is just reminding everyone of your grandmother’s rule that if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say it all. And there is nothing wrong in joining an instance like that and doesn’t make your instance an echo chamber.

I think a piece of it is discoverability. Mastodon makes it hard to find stuff, or suggests the same five accounts for me to follow for months. Blue sky is easier to find stuff on. I wish something like Mastodon would win, but the numbers aren't trending that way. Blue sky has more momentum.

a lack of moderation is how you get 4chan and x

Yup, any client will allow you to block accounts or instances but noooo the other instance's admins must do it because someone somewhere somehow got micro-offended at something!

If you also don't mind crypto whackos everywhere...
