Does anyone know good people to follow? I'd rather not join Bluesky.
I learned to follow hashtags, not people on mastodon myself..
I joined bluesky because the weather group I followed on Twitter moved there, so deleted twitter and follow them on BLuesky now. Is there a reason not to join bluesky?
Not right now, except that it's going to follow the same cycle as everything else: good to users at first, good to shareholders at the end.
Build an account on Mastodon if you want to escape the cycle and tangle with different problems ;)
It really is nice there; people seem to like talking to each other about varied things, but it is smaller than Twitter so you may need to be on mastodon for some things and Bluesky for others you can't get on mastodon
I never really used twitter for more than weather lol, so I'll make a mastodon account, but I'll be as active on it as BS. Just don't get the appeal of the format. Probably why I'm so much more active here than anywhere else.
Saaame. I'm jut on Mastadon now to boost ti's numbers and support the fediverse.
Yeah I don't know why, I never really got twitter. But Mastodon was addictive for me. I always want to see what people are posting
Hm... Maybe if I open the app more often I'll get to that point?
Yes, and if you follow people you're interested in. There is an account called https://social.growyourown.services/@FediFollows which posts themed lists of interesting accounts. I followed Cory Doctorow because I knew he was on Mastodon, and then followed a lot of people who posted interesting posts that came across my feed from people I didn't follow yet. There's no algorithm so you discover stuff more naturally as people you follow share stuff, and you decide to follow that too
I would say no* but the asterisk has a few paragraphs involving funding sustainability, cryptobro involvement, and dubious decentralization.
Ah, damn, now I wish more would have gone to mastodon.
Corporate vs. community. Bluesky is technically backed by an open protocol but it’s still controlled by a large corporation. A bad actor (read: Elon) could make it shit.
The biggest reason is that it's centralized.
No, just a personal choice.
Don't know who exactly you are interested in, here are some random known accounts:
Regarding individuals, I'm following a bunch of software developpers. I'm mostly interested in topics, hence I prefer Lemmy by far.
There's Fedi.Directory which you pick whatever category of your interest and it list various Fedi account. It's mostly Mastodon based-account but you get couple other non-mastodon account like PeerTube for example
