Comment on Why I recommend against Bluesky.
MadMadBunny@lemmy.ca 3 weeks agoI 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.

Again, that is not the discussion we are having.

“Im so tired of hearing that getting set up is easier in bluesky, you can do it like this on mastodon”
“That didn’t set up my account, which includes getting a healthy following base”
…
“That’s not the discussion we are having”
I’m another person but, are you sure it isn’t? Setting up the account is not only creation, it’s all the tweaks until it’s useful for the user. If the user needs connections and searching for them is harder (due to how search works currently with federation) then setting up is indeed harder on Mastodon, which is the point the one you are responding to is reinforcing.
