      I think that for the average Joe Mastodon looks too confusing and unpolished, compared to Bluesky.

      Also, a Bluesky and Mastodon user, although I use Mastodon significantly more. Both have upsides and downsides. Mastodon’s onboarding experience has improved, but it’s still worse than Bluesky’s. Also, the fact that Mastodon doesn’t federate likes is honestly very strange. It makes the platform look dead at first glance, which really hurts first impressions.

      I still prefer Mastodon, federation is great and I’ve had an easier time finding people to follow there. Bluesky’s feature of following community made feeds is really cool though.

          Bluesky does have federation, it’s not at the level of Mastodon’s, but it’s improving. You can host a personal data server, which lets you host your account from your own server. You do still access this account through the main BlueSky website and apps, but authentication is done through your own server.

          Speaking of features, I’m somewhat surprised more people aren’t interested in Misskey and co., especially compared to Mastodon’s overwhelming share of the Fediverse pie.

            Oh yeah true, when more people became unhappy about Twitter so they all went to bluesky and mastodon. So it makes sense.
