... the billionaire proof version of Bluesky is ... Mastodon.
I was really confused when everyone suddenly jumped to Blue sky after the election? Why not mastodon? Made no sense to me at all.
Because the majority of people don’t actually know or care about what the fediverse is. They just wanted to jump ship and BlueSky was the convenient one for them.
We (generally speaking) also dropped the ball in putting a good first impression. When most of my Black friends saw that the Fedi was just as toxic-- if not more!-- than Twitter, they just stayed where they were. Because if it all sucks, what's the point in moving?
