Atleast in Features. It will 100% become better if they added true decentralisation.
This is a popular opinion, but pretty unpopular within the fediverse bubble ngl
Everyone loves the shiny new thing when it’s still burning through VC money and hasn’t been sold off for value extraction yet.
It is a corporation that is trying to squeeze money from you! They will take money in exchange for:
- Your personal information
- Prioritizing posts
- De-prioritizing posts
- Shadow banning users
- Forcing you to use an app so they can get even more personal info
And on and on and on… There is no reason to think they’re better…
I said in features. In moral hell Mastodon is ∞ times better than BlueSky.
- Prioritizing posts
- De-prioritizing posts
- Shadow banning users
- Forcing you to use an app so they can get even more personal info
But they didn’t did those thing yet. Don’t know about future. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Specifically starting with this section:
Bluesky is fun, but won’t it inevitably be ruined by horrible billionaires like the other social media websites I’ve used over the last 15 years?
Since Bluesky has twice as many users as mastodon, I’m thinking this opinion isn’t truly unpopular.
No no. Not twice as many.
Mastodon has, from a google search a few days ago about 975k users.
Bluesky, goohle search 30 seconds later had 20 million users, and a news story that they gained 700k users in the past 24 hours (at the time). So I’m unclear if the 700k is included in the 20 mil, or if it should be more like 20.7mil.
Either way, it’s far from 1.5mil total.
