Super early #Bluesky thoughts:
- Onboarding feels super smooth. Selecting the default server feels low stakes.
- Initial feed feels Twitteresque, for better or worse. I don't know how to explain what this means. It's a vibe.
- Took about 5 mins to switch to @acjay.com. I LOVE this.
These are weak points with #mastodon, as I think nearly everyone acknowledges.
@acjay Yeah, but do those features outweigh the weak point of being owned by Dorsey?
@LouisIngenthron I'm still doing my research, but I don't think that's a correct characterization. It's an open protocol designed to limit lock-in to any host. Time will tell whether a truly decentralized ecosystem actually emerges.
@acjay ...like a battered wife returning to her abusive spouse yet again...
