The question is not Mastodon vs Threads vs Bluesky, it’s #ActivityPub vs #ATProtocol.
If we continue to think in terms of social media platforms instead of protocols we’ll end up back at square one in enclosed communities with locked in social graphs at the whim of singular, fickle entities driven by profit or ideology.
It’s a protocol tussle between the World Wide Web Consortium recommended Activitypub decentralised social media protocol (Mastodon, FireFish, Threads, PixelFed, Wordpress etc) https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/ and ATProtocol (Bluesky).
It’s disappointing seeing the attention that is migrating away from Twitter heading to Bluesky, further fragmenting people’s social media graphs when a functioning protocol already exists.
@0363f220 We would greatly benefit from normalising and not stigmatising wearing a mask whilst being sick in public. Many people don’t have the resources to stay at home and either need to work or head out to get supplies. Whilst more sick leave entitlements would be greatly beneficial, there is a limit to how much time time this would cover. Masks when sick would be a very positive cultural shift.
@dae5a3b2 I’m replying here rather than on the other site. The functionality is almost on par except for the ability to quote toot which will hopefully come at some point. Worth trying Mammoth beta app to see the quality of the clients appearing https://testflight.apple.com/join/66c1wW8y
@54b2382c my facial recognition only works if I’m making the same face as I did when setting it up. It was a happy day so every time I open my phone I’m forever forced to relive the same moment.
