I’m apparently out of the loop. Why are so many people migrating from Bluesky?
Anyways, if you are a Trekkie looking for a “Federation” to be a part of, please come join us @tenforward.social!
If you want a non-Mastodon instance to follow, please check out @startrek.website on Lemmy. If you like memes, check out @tenforward.

People are (understandably) upset about the fact that Bluesky won’t ban Jesse Signal. Signal has been criticized for his weird/hateful views/writings on trans people: https://techcrunch.com/2025/10/05/waffles-eat-bluesky/.

That was where it started, but then they did ban a well-known Blacksky user, link (I don't know too many details), and then people really lost their shit. They were also surprised that well well well, the bsky ecosystem isn't all that decentralized after all. 😄

you know who doesn't have this problem?
mastodon...

The problem is the general public just wants to log into the popular app and engage with the algorithm. The moment you try to explain multiple servers and an ecosystem decision paralysis kicks in. Mastodon might have another wave of active users soon, but I’m worried without the handholding and marketing of a large company most users simply won’t jump onboard.

The problem that mastodon doesn't offer algorithm even if you join. I like threadiverse but mastodon is just so much wasted potential.

You say problem, I say feature.

Feature of seeing some people who shitpost 20 posts a day over some really good posts? Algorithm is not a problem, lack of transparency in the algorithm is.

I mean, don't follow people who shitpost 20 times a day? That seems like a good place to start.
My feed on Masto is better than any algorithm has ever been. And I'm in control. Yes, that's a feature.

How do you find accounts to sub to in the first place?
TachyonTele@piefed.social · 1 pts · 320d
You just send them a sign up link to get them started. Pick a server for them. Then let them decide what to do after.

Mastadon has plenty of its own problems. Like instances with weird restrictions and god-modding.

How does that work? Aren't they both decentralized and federated?
FlatFootFox@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 319d
Mastodon and Bluesky have very different architectures, and go about their decentralization and federation strategies very differently. Bluesky don’t really have the same concept of “instances” as Mastodon. Unless you recreate Bluesky’s entire technology stack, their decentralized bits typically run into some centralized linchpin that Bluesky still controls. There’s some efforts like Blacksky trying to create meaningful alternatives in the Bluesky ecosystem, but they’re still largely just proof of concept.
