@thomasfuchs i feel like i'm seeing a fair bit of sneering/overgeneralization of the users of the other platform on both platforms
@molly0xfff @thomasfuchs wait why do people give a fuck
@grumpasaurus @molly0xfff @thomasfuchs So I remembered on Twitter back in the day the claim that federating with another server means that users on both servers technically had access to each other's DMs, and while I'm not 100% of the validity of that, it could be that their user profile information is shared with another entity.
And had they wanted Bluesky to have it, they would've...made an account there.
And vice versa for Bluesky accounts not making a Mastodon account.
@grumpasaurus @molly0xfff @thomasfuchs The same issue with Threads - all of a sudden, Facebook can do more than shadow-profile people who have accounts on Mastodon because of the federation with Threads.
@grumpasaurus @molly0xfff @thomasfuchs
tribalism is a hell of a drug
@molly0xfff @thomasfuchs Honestly I think it's bluesky that goes after the users more, mastodon tends to direct its fear and loathing at the owners. (and poor snarfed)
@misc @molly0xfff @thomasfuchs What's the story about Snarfed's bridge? People are referencing it a lot lately. It's been around forever and no one seemed to care or even really mention it when it was bridged with Twitter or any other service in the past?
@molly0xfff @thomasfuchs +1, I see sooooo much of what can be summarized as "Bluesky users feeling too cool for Mastodon”
@molly0xfff @thomasfuchs i've seen the same and fr it feels high school cliquey.
but in this case both cliques are dorks and the people getting snarky on each platform could do with some introspection
@molly0xfff @thomasfuchs Yyyyyeah, while there are a ton of people on both platforms who honestly don’t care, there’s a fair HIGHLY VOCAL (does this sound familiar) minority who are just bashing the “other” platform.
Frankly I’m hoping they BOTH work out for folks!
