Deceptive. While half the tech people I used to follow on Twitter moved to Mastodon, three quarters of them have either shifted to bsky or post to both via mirroring.
- azakai 2y agoAside from tech, though: practically none of the non-tech people I followed on Twitter moved to Mastodon. Almost all of them went to Bluesky. I follow a mix of people, so I ended up mostly on Bluesky. I would have been happy on Mastodon too, and I don't know why it didn't catch on with non-tech people, but it just hasn't. So Bluesky is our main opportunity for an open social web, at this time.
- ajmurmann 2y agoIt sounds stupid but I think the bit where you pick your host was too much for normies or led to pushing off the decision and just not joining. Even when you have an account you know have to pick a client.
- shawabawa3 2y agoI've never used twitter or any of the alternatives but I'm glad not many people are going to mastodon The number of dead links I've had where the shard is down or overloaded is way too high The design simply doesn't work imo

- jay_kyburz 2y agoHey, question. Is mirroring officially supported by either platform. So for example, can I configure my blue sky account to just monitor my mastodon feed and re-post things for me?
- tlarkworthy 2y agoI see some BlueSky users mirroring their content from Mastodon
