    Everybody talks about “why not Mastodon” in the comments of these. I thought about that for a long while back when I used Mastodon, and I have an answer: discoverability. ActivityPub does not make things easy to find, which makes a Twitter-like service even more like screaming into the void. It effectively becomes “bring your own audience,” and tends to only amplify the voices that are already the loudest, though as a consequence of the backend, rather than a malicious choice like Twitter.

      I think there’s a lot of overlap between people interested in a reddit alternative and a twitter alternative. Or maybe as that guy below says it’s just that I’m personally posting about it a lot.

        But why not about mastodon? We are on the Fediverse here! And you really have posted a lot of articles that are basically just advertisements for bluesky.
