Comment on Why I recommend against Bluesky.

I’ve been on Mastodon for two years now. I’m active and all.

And yet, to this date, I still can’t find a single person in my working field, who are located within the province of Quebec.

Bluesky? Over a hundred already within days.

Yeah I mean you’re making my point here. More marketshare = more leverage over users.

  I don’t think I do… what I explained was, Mastodon is too difficult not because of the interface, it’s because it’s too decentralized, to the point of everyone getting lost in the forest, and no one can find each other within the networks.
  
  As for Bluesky, while it’s not the best or safest alternative, is way more convenient for networking—the raison d’être of a social network.

    No one is arguing about that. None of that matters when BlueSky turns into the next Xitter. Your social network is irrelevant when you can’t even find those people in a feed full of ads for weight loss supplements and unchecked disinformation.

    I know that. And I do believe Mastodon is superior tech-wise, safer and better.
    
    But, at this moment, the people I look to reach are on Bluesky, none are on Mastodon.

  Maybe they have more users for the same reason you’re sick of hearing how much easier it is than Mastodon: because it’s easier than Mastodon. Users didn’t spontaneously materialize on BlueSky.

    Okay but…it’s not.
