Yup, I’m calling it.

bsky will prevail where Mastodon failed. The recent migration triggered the critical mass of Chaos Muppet Energy that Masto’s culture works so hard to extinguish

Like a climactic moment in a Zelda game where the accumulation of artifacts and switches pulled channels mystical energy.

I will see you over there!

What threw it over the top for me was catching wind of a developing news event in real time—the Nazi party at MSG

with the blend of straight facts, analysis and jokes we used to get from Twitter

A range of voices broad enough there to really deliver. How exciting

update two weeks later:

Yup. Bsky is where it’s at. It feels like Twitter used to feel, the vibes are positive, the voices are diverse, it’s easy to get the kind of content you need

Moreover, the product quality gap compared to Masto is yawning ever wider, with user-made feed algorithms, block lists, and starter packs

Whatever advantages Masto had from its early lead are exhausted, and as it relates to time and attention, I will not be betting on its success

I do hope you will consider joining bluesky, as not all of my favorites have made the migration yet

If you abandoned it previously, as I did, give it another look. Journalists and scientists in particular are moving over, providing an insightful foundation for discussion and enriching the quality of feeds

My favorite anecdote on the superiority of its product design culture:

For years Masto has avoided quote posts, with much wailing and gnashing of teeth in a conversation that goes in circles, to the detriment of making things people want

Bsky shipped a thing where you can just detach yourself from any quoting post you feel is acting in bad faith, or otherwise brings you attention you don’t want

Sorry, man, they got the juice

Again, the juice.

Bsky is the number one free iOS app in the US right now.

Mastodon is the 184th most popular app in the social media chart. Here are some apps that rank ahead of Mastodon on that chart:

• Pengu, Virtual AI Pets, #20

• Plenty of Fish, the fifth tier dating app, #29

• Skype, #33

• Letterboxd, #38

• Potato Chat, #48

• BeReal, #55

• Yik Yak, #59

• 3Fun, for arranging group sex, #92

• Fizz (???), #95

• Ubisoft Connect, #162

Masto’s leadership fucked the dog here.

Reasonable people can disagree about the growth and funding strategies for a social media platform.

But Mastodon being less popular than a superfluous companion app for a game publisher no one likes is just poor stewardship.

@danilo you're not wrong.

That said, I see a lot more people on bsky getting very hung up on mastodon, than the other way around.

As an aside, "screwed the pooch" is how I would typically phrase that particular sentiment.
