I see a lot of criticism of #Bluesky in my #mastodon TL. Much of it **very** angry and resentful. I don't have access to Bluesky so can't judge first hand but I don't doubt that much of this criticism is valid. However, what I see very little of is any kind of reflection of **why** people are choosing Bluesky (even in its very early stage of development) over Mastodon. After 6 months here I see a number of big deficiencies which as far as I know are not being addressed. Moreover, I recall that in the first migration wave there were a number of people including journalists who articulated those deficiencies but were shouted down by ideologues. The result: they left.
This is not the way. Mastodon needs to adapt and do it quickly.
