Trying so hard to resist telling people to come over to Mastodon everytime Bluesky does another "what if we suck at that whole platform safety thing and let a racist or transphobe or two hang out with you all, no biggie right?" because I think Mastodon has more of that "own your community" kind of stuff I think people actually want.

The problem is, I wouldn't even know where to tell people (which instance) to make an account. Like, that's kind of a problem. Idk 😐

I kind of think people are drawn to Bluesky BECAUSE there are no alternatives right now for using atproto. It's just bluesky.

Wondering if mastodon.social has the same moderation issues? Like, would it even be different? I feel a little insulated on hachyderm who seem to do an alright job. But it's largely a tech instance. I wouldn't suggest everyone join it. Idk!

@hbuchel I only view personal timeline as local and federated have “all sorts”.
Need to follow others to see boosts and use “friend of a friend-FoaF” ontological model to build timeline.

@dahukanna @hbuchel Yeah. Choose an instance for its T&S not for the local & fed timelines. Curate your own community thru follows.

@dalias @dahukanna Yeah, I agree. It takes a little more work to find your people BUT it's been very rewarding.

@dahukanna @hbuchel Same - which takes time but honestly I think leads to the best curated experience
