I'm not too up to date on Twitter clones. What's the difference between this and Mastadon?

  Mastodon has about 1 million active accounts, bluesky has 12 and you can also host your own data. Threads (by meta) has 100 million but you can't federate it yet so bluesky is the way to go currently for selfhosters and privacy advocates.

    Mastodon is also confusing for a lot of people and when you point it out techies will appear to yell at you and tell you that "no in fact it isn't." Whereas Bluesky has a familiar consumer app feeling to it. Each of these sites also has a distinct vibe. Threads, for example, feels a bit like when Time Square turned into a kind of Disney property. It's clean and safe! But it also lacks a bit of soul.

    Threads has about ~300m MAUs so far higher than 100m accounts. And you can federate it with ActivityPub just not fully supporting it yet.
