    it’s the branding.

    mastodon has a crummy name

    but also there’s too much friction to get on it

    feels an awful lot like bluesky saw where mastodon fell short and decided to be all the things mastodon failed to live up to, but to also be its own set of things that are worse than mastodon on a moral/ethical/technical backend level–but instead they focused on the user experience.

    It sucks, but people just enjoy bluesky’s user experience more.

    If mastodon doesn’t like it, mastodon can change. So, go ahead, mastodon. Fix yourself. Be better. We’re all waiting.
