Comment on Bluesky and Mastodon users are having a fight that could shape the next generation of social media
nix@merv.news 7 months agoIts barely been around. How many services did activitypub have the first year? Atprotocol already has tools twitter didnt have to combat the bad shit. The block tool is way more powerful and theres block lists, theres custom feeds instead of toxic for you page that pushes ads and inflammatory posts.

You just can’t compare these two directly - ActivityPub which is a W3 backed non-profit free protocol and software collection to Bluesky which is a for profit american product with some open source components that could be decentralized. But even if you do, it’s still underperforming despite being found directly to leech of users of an existing failing product (it’s even the same founder lol).
Again, you can like Bluesky and atprotocol but to say it’s on even remotely equal footing either in ideological or real sense to be “fighting activititypub” is just laughable any way you look at it.

What do you mean “underperforming”? That’s just head-in-sand nonsense.
Basically 3/4th of the number of active Mastodon users signed up for Bluesky within the last few days.
