I’ve been in Mastodon for a few months and Bluesky for a few days, and Bluesky just blows it out of the water as a twitter replacement. Easier technically, a lot more of the people I follow are on there, people are easier to find, and most importantly the algorithm encourages rather than discourages engagement.
I find there’s no “discouraging”. Rather it’s just posts. The “engagement” aspect of Twitter and modern social media is imo the one thing that’s most important to leave behind. It’s not healthy.
But that’s the fun part! I don’t want a new app that is like twitter but without engagement, I want to keep using something exactly like twitter that hasn’t been taken over by fascists
