This is not how Mastodon or the Fediverse grows, our growth is real, not based on hyped and marketing. People come and stay here because it is a nice place, not because it is a popular or exciting new hangout spot that all the rich cool people are going to.

Well, I didn't stay because I couldn't figure it out unlike with Lemmy and my feed is still barely showing me anything new.

See y’all next time everyone gets surprised and upset when their centralized social media gets bought by a conservative sycophant.

Did they not learn a damn thing?

The signup process for mastodon sucks massively. Unless you're nerdy enough to sort it out, you'll give up then and there. Bluesky is very straightforward, while offering customization to those looking for a non-mainstream experience.

Same for Lemmy tbh.

I don't really remember signing up for mastodon so I tested it.

mastodon.social -> create new account -> agree to terms -> username + email + password -> click email verification

It's literally standard. Maybe in the past it was worse I vaguely remember giving up maybe a year or two before I made an account on mastodon.social.

I just went to mastadon.social for mastadon and like the biggest national lemmy instance we have, feddit. Although I have to criticize the old instance of feddit shutting down unexpectedly and I had to migrate to a newer one.

What is a Mastadon?

[–] aoidenpa@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I'm not an expert but I heard languages, religions and cultures has some irrational and hard to imitate rules so that outsiders can't join in or blend easily. Is this similar? Maybe it's an advantage?

You could say Bluesky is... picking up Steam, eh?

Sorry, I have no new or interesting insights to offer, I'd hope most already get what's happening, anyway.

Don't worry about not having any insights, I still valve-ued the pun.

I will never not read "bluesky" as "bloo-skee"

[–] pancakes@sh.itjust.works 15 points 1 day ago

It will always be "bluey-skibidi"
