The fine article doesn’t mention this, but hopefully they’ll do an iPad version too. The lack of one is what is keeping me from trying Bluesky.
You chose to assign a derogatory name to people on a specific platform.
Just say it as it is. Its just people you disagree with. We used to just call that opposing views and we used to debate the issues. "Nazi" is such an abused word now it means literally nothing.Oh I never said that everyone on twitter is a nazi.
But if one prefers to not get routinely harassed by nazis, other platforms such as BlueSky and Mastodon are a better choice. The blocking tools alone are a big reason why, along with their lack of an algo that promotes that content and users. There are nazis on these platforms too but it’s much easier to ignore them.
There's not a ton of people on it yet, maybe in a few more years.I never could find any use for Twitter. Is blue sky very similar?

Practically X and now BlueSky is where information live. But x is full of troll and bots.I never could find any use for Twitter. Is blue sky very similar?
BlueSky is much more popular than Mastodon and many institution account are migrating there from MastodonThis is a good news for Bluesky users, but a bad one for current Ivory (Mastodon) ones.
The last release already took 5 months to be released (they mentioned it was being tricky but now it's evident they were also working on something else) and they also mention Ivory development will be further slowed down.
There is still a lot of work to be done in Ivory and now I feel my subscription money is being used to fund an app I'm not going to use.
Try to see this the other way around: imagine using Bluesky app and they announce they will work on a Mastodon one for the next months while your beloved Bluesky one remains outdated.
"Communist", despite what you've been taught, is not just a word for "bad thing I've been told not to like". It has an actual meaning.Yeah no nazis but you instead get communists. Pick your poison. I choose neither.
Sorry, Was speed typing, I find the mastodon platform confusing and just haven't been able to get myself using it, however Bluesky is something I have been using and enjoying! Definitely not perfect, and needs improvements, but it's my preference of the two.Are you saying that you're confused by Mastodon? Or that you're confused that they do/don't support Mastodon? (They do, that's Ivory.)

Bluesky is for snowflakes who don't like the truth and can't stand the fact that they can no longer censor it.

I used Twitter mainly as an RSS feed. Like I get updated whenever Macrumours or Ars or TheVerge releases an article. I think a lot of celebrities and creators are on Twitter as well. Like vtubers seem to overwhelmingly favour the platform when communicating with their fans.
At the end of the day, it’s not about the features. It’s who’s on the platform that matters.
I meant choosing between X or Bluesky. i am on neither, never was.you choose... MR forums
Mastodon has a steeper learning curve, but has the advantage of not being yet another social media platform owned by a big corporation that could very well turn evil (or negligently indifferent) in the future (see Facebook, Twitter). So I see it as worth the effort. BlueSky seems fairly positive right now, but what assurances do we have that it won't go down the Twitter path in the future?Sorry, Was speed typing, I find the mastodon platform confusing and just haven't been able to get myself using it, however Bluesky is something I have been using and enjoying!
