I've been using Bluesky for a couple of days now and it's rather interesting that some accounts that I really liked on Twitter (like QI and Engadget) are either not present on the Fediverse or tried to create a presence but became inactive after a bit.

But on Bluesky, they are very much active.

So why the difference? Is it a lack of interaction? Or the percieved fragmentation due to how Mastodon works?

@f

I personally don't get it. I'm on both places and like it much better here. Much more interaction, for one thing, and interesting conversations. Bluesky looks like a Twitter clone so maybe people are more comfortable with that? 🤷

@f Maybe the same reason why Bluesky gets way more press coverage than Mastodon.

@crcollins I don't get it either 🙂But maybe some people see Bluesky as easier to use since they can see numbers for interaction since likes etc. are a single figure instead of spread across multiple servers?

I have been subscribing to QI and Engadget across a bridging service but that spews a bunch of posts on to my timeline every week or so and that annoys me. So I do prefer accessing those accounts directly on Bluesky but other than that, I have not found that much engagement on Bluesky ...

@jan @f well it’s easier to use, got 25M+ users, and is far newer than Mastodon. I feel like Mastodons time has come and gone

@jglypt @f Bluesky is centralised network that looks like decentralised. This is a hard pass for me.
