Hey, I wanted to ask someone who has probably more knowledge than me about it - what’s the difference about these two services? I know Mastodon has ActivityPub, so it works with Lemmy, and BlueSky has it’s own kind of federation, but does it even has anything to federate to?
I’m asking not which one is better, I’m searching logical argument for one or other. I’m obviously more leaning toward Mastodon since I’m here, but I wanted to give my friend, who is thinking about joining, some real arguments.
Bluesky is very left leaning which I’m not sure I like. An example, the other day there was a thread about using blocklists and a user said they are silly because you have to trust the creator of that list. Another user said talk like that will get you blocked, many people agreed with the second user. That culture worries me. BTW I agree with the first user.
How is this an example of “left leaning”?
US Republicans have successfully pushed a narrative that the left is “all about censorship”
And we’ll burn any books that say otherwise!
Yeah, I thought about that at work today. I should have said ‘Bluesky is developing a “group think” culture’.
I appreciate the self-reflection.
Thank you. I have to admit when I’m wrong. Doubling down is just cringe.
