The thing I love about this post and all its replies, is the stark difference in replies in answer to Brent's very reasonable question.

Some folks:
* It's the starter packs / easier onboarding!

Other folks:
[I'll let you read those replies]

If you think it's the starter packs / easier onboarding, then that leads you to want easier onboarding for Mastodon👍🏿

If you think it's a character flaw or moral failing in people that choose BlueSky, that leads to doing nothing🤷🏿‍♂️

MastodonBrent Toderian (@BrentToderian@mastodon.online)I’m surprised that while my Bluesky account has grown by 8000 followers — DOUBLED to 16k+ — in just the last week since the election, my Mastodon count hasn’t changed at all. Is Mastodon not seen as an alternative to Twitter? Or is my account hard to find for those not following me? Honestly curious.

I love BlueSky, mainly because it's now our best bet at Twitter not being as influential in the US midterm elections (that are coming up sooner than we think).

I like to brag and boast when I am right about a call, so it's only fair to admit when I'm wrong: I really thought Mastodon would get it together on the onboarding and trust and safety front.

In fairness, Mastodon is getting it together... but just far too slowly to matter. A slow "yes" is often the same outcome as a "no."🤷🏿‍♂️

@mekkaokereke yeah, we're constantly fighting the fact that a lot of the trust & safety aspects in both Mastodon and ActivityPub in general were left languishing for so long.

Hopefully the new ActivityPub Trust & Safety Taskforce can make some forward improvements here through reports & recommendations.

Though funding for work is definitely also a factor here, it's obviously possible to do more faster with a budget of $30+ Million vs $600k/year
