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.

    Damn. I knew I belonged on Mastodon but you didn’t have to be so blunt about it…

      To be fair, Bluesky has been a really good and positive experience for me so far. And I’ve used Mastodon and Twitter.

        I keep trying to want to use Mastodon. But I’m using Bluesky far more. Heck, maybe more than here at this point, just because it’s been so…refreshingly positive.

        And I had absolutely no interest in Twitter at any point.

          Used Mastodon for a while. It wasn’t bad at all, but for me it was mainly a lack of people that made me stop using it. I still think Mastodon has a lot of potential though.
