The proprietary and for-profit always wins. Even if Mastodon had all of the feature upsides of BlueSky, it would lose the marketing war.

- shafyy 2y agoIn the short-term, yes. In the long-term, I hope not. You are probably right, but I want to keep supporting initiatives like ActivityPub and hope that when Bluesky fucks up, Mastodon and other services are still around.
- toastercat 2y agoI'm kind of being doom'n'gloom, but unfortunately, this always seems to happen, and folks who previously disavowed Twitter/X when Elon took over still stuck around for 2 years. I don't believe the whole "I don't know what server to pick" complaint about Mastodon, because the mainsite literally has a huge button that says "Join mastodon.social"[1] [1] https://joinmastodon.org/ https://joinmastodon.org/
