 It seems like Mastodon is losing its mindshare to #Bluesky among many academics.

I can't help but think this has to do with the self-imposed limitations of Mastodon — lack of quotes, ordered timeline, etc. Makes it less interesting to use, for no real advantage.

Sad, because the underlying decentralization is much more robust.

well #Mastodon is not the #Fediverse and on #Firefish for example quotes look like this ^^

 @9adfce6d @5f9be9ad @b8de0890 I’ve been trying to tell the project maintainers for years (it also affects other groups), but there seems to be too much inertia.
