BlueSky may not be ideal, but anything is better than X.
X is just a machine for turning billionaire cash into political domination.

Don’t go to BlueSky !!! They’re not better than X. They obey to the same leaders… MONEY, GREED, AND POWER. A few weeks ago they restricted 72 Turkish protesters the access to their BlueSky accounts on simple request of the Turkish Government. So, BlueSky cannot be trusted they will secure the accounts of their customers. If Trump would ask BlueSky to block all accounts of members who are against him, they’ll do it right away.

bluesky is just early twitter, and it wont stay that way for long. they’ve already removed people from there that the Turkish govt doesn’t like and there is nothing at all stopping some billionaire like musk from swooping in and buying it all up.

Make mastodon more accessible then.

Which accessibility best practices does Mastodon break?
Muyal@lemmy.world 16 hours ago
Oh boy, where do I even begin:
Federation. People have no idea what it is, which means that they have to familiarize themselves with all these technical concepts just to create an account.
Servers. Most mastodon servers are locked, and you have to petition the admins to let you in, which often implies waiting more than a day. In other sites, you can create an account in 5 seconds, so mastodon is at a disadvantage.
Lack of an algorithm. This implies people won’t see the content they like, which means they have to go and actively look for content. Most people don’t want to spend time doing that, they just want to log in, laugh at funny memes ans look at pretty pictures.

3 is a feature to me. The “algorithms” seem to create bubbles, and I want to decide myself.

The same is true for Bsky but people don’t complain about it there. It asks you what server you want when you sign up, etc., which is what people complain about in the Mastodon journey.
Most people aren’t on locked servers. By which, I mean the majority of mastodon users are on the .social instance which is the default when you sign up on the official app/site and is open to anyone.
Not an accessibility issue.

I’m pretty sure Mastodon is made of algorithms, mate

None of those have anything to do with accessibility.
