Trying so hard to resist telling people to come over to Mastodon everytime Bluesky does another "what if we suck at that whole platform safety thing and let a racist or transphobe or two hang out with you all, no biggie right?" because I think Mastodon has more of that "own your community" kind of stuff I think people actually want.
The problem is, I wouldn't even know where to tell people (which instance) to make an account. Like, that's kind of a problem. Idk 😐

I kind of think people are drawn to Bluesky BECAUSE there are no alternatives right now for using atproto. It's just bluesky.
Wondering if mastodon.social has the same moderation issues? Like, would it even be different? I feel a little insulated on hachyderm who seem to do an alright job. But it's largely a tech instance. I wouldn't suggest everyone join it. Idk!

@hbuchel I've been on mastodon.social since signing up in 2018 and have not seen anything out of order. I follow some pretty outspoken people who post about Gaza and other topics all the time. Maybe I don't know what I don't know and toots are getting blocked but it doesn't seem that way. Have not seen any nazi stuff either.
If it was a problem I wouldn't hesitate to move to another instance but have not found a need to...yet.

@hbuchel I'm now checking Bluesky and Masto only because the tech world decided to move to Bluesky en masse. A lot of the more well-known tech people literally moved to Bluesky only in the last few weeks seemingly because they could not bear to let go of their follower counts on X.
Also some of the dj/producer community also moved to Bluesky and skipped Masto entirely.
I would love it if everyone was on Masto as Bluesky will inevitably enshittify.

@hbuchel All that said, there has been some moderation issues on Masto for Black people (and surely others) and while I have not experienced that directly those issues understandably pushed people away from Mastodon and the Fediverse and it will be hard to get them back.

@joshuaiz Yeah, I've begun using Bluesky a bit more recently because the tech community picked up there after Elon's block changes on Twitter went live. Unfortunately, all of the bad parts of tech Twitter also moved over there.
That being said, I think Bluesky is currently half baked. I don't think communities will get what they want there until there are actual other platforms using atproto for people to move to. In which case, Mastodon already has that.
