      Bluesky will be in the same boat given enough time. Mastodon (or other actually federated options) is the only proper stand-in for twitter.

        I’ve been on mastodon for 8 years and it’s ok but it can’t catch the masses. It has been paralyzed from advancing by a vocal minority.

        It shouldn’t take 6 years to get search and quote posts. They also need optional algorithmic feeds.

          100% agree. The user experience of Mastodon is unappealing for the masses. Bluesky will enshittify for sure, but it’s the only real replacement for Twitter nowadays.

      Mastodon is much better and resistant to enshittification. Bluesky is not federated or decentralized.
