I've had a lot of people ask how BlueSky compares to Mastodon and the Fediverse. I've tried to make the answer as simple and easy to understand as possible:
BlueSky is designed to give corporations and wealthy people full control of the network. All of its traffic has to flow through expensive-to-run corporate relays.
The Fediverse is designed to give ordinary people control of the network. All of its traffic flows directly from one cheap-to-run server to another.
@FediTips The problem is that Bluesky is lively. People respond. Here, other than this post of yours, almost nothing anybody posts here gets any comments.So ironically, there's no sense of community here. We are all just barking into the void.
It is more work to build up connections on here than on Bluesky, Twitter or Facebook. There are good reasons for this, because the structure here is designed to stop people like Musk taking over the network.
And once you do make connections on here, I would say the community on here is much more genuine, deep and friendly.
