Better is entirely subjective. Mastodon has so much friction for an average person.

Not to mention most servers are filled with tons of “WeLl ACKWalLY…” types or legit weirdos.

I’ve heard it summarized: if you hated Twitter you’ll like mastodon. If you liked Twitter, you’ll love bluesky.

Mastodon aint for everyone. Id hazard to say it’s not for most people. It’s also no immune to ads or natural centralization.

It reminds me of that South Park episode about Walmart where they fought off the super store and shopped at the small store until it grew into the super store.

Yeah those are fair points, I don’t use any of them so when I say better I mean purely from the perspective of “it can’t be owned”. Mastodon has the option to just make your own server, or worst case even your own fork of the project, and the other two afaik just don’t have either/both so will always be vulnerable to enshittification.
