The Fediverse allows you to reach real people who care.

Commercial social network allows you to get (fake) vanity metrics against money.

When a person, an institution or a company tells you that "Mastodon is not working" or "There are not enough people on Mastodon", what they are truly saying is what they are looking for.

And is not to reach real people who care.

AND

To "reach" all those "people" you have to give a majority of the money you could have earned to ZuckerMusk.

If you put a Fedi server into your website you would retain the entire audience and use the fact they are real people to generate income in some way.

@ploum where does BlueSky stand on all this in your opinion? Honest question, since I'm having a hard time making a decision on whether or not I should create an account there.

I feel like on Mastodon I can "only" reach people who already agree with my opinions on many topics, and maybe there are people on BlueSky who care and who are reasonable enough to be able to debate (willing to get convinced and able to challenge my opinions). But I don't know if I can trust the platform itself.

@david_guillot

Bluesky was created by the same person who created Twitter and then sold it to Musk.

Make your own extrapolation... :)

@edumerco I think it's a bit more complicated than that. Twitter was public when Musk bought it, and Dorsey had like 2%. He claims he created BlueSky to fix Twitter mistakes but he then quit it and said the mistakes were repeated. Who knows what's in this dude's mind. Beyond that, I think that a social medias story cannot be summarized by its creators story. @ploum

Hi @david_guillot

You're right and I do completely agree. :)

My oversimplification tried to point to the fact that people and teams have values, and what they do is (consciously or not) aligned with those values.

If a project is not created with a(ny) community involved, it's difficult to believe that it's results will be aligned with it's needs.

However, who knows? Once in a while we can get some surprises... ;D
