Bluesky vs. Mastodon is not as black and white as many seem to think.
Let me explain why. 🧵
1. A Twitter founder funds and advises Bluesky.
Okay, a Twitter founder (npub1zpxgdm0ptlksulz58n8f69jr0n9jsytfzahp0mj52e8mz5yklpzs5hq6e6 (npub1zpx…q6e6)) runs a for-profit instance, and another (npub10u4sur3uwnfw4tk0wq2v8fgxvevnn0rwj0fzn458ql33j2r7thzqcnrqnh (npub10u4…rqnh)) has offered to advise Mastodon.
2. Bluesky accepted VC money.
A VC firm owns 3 of the top 5 largest Mastodon servers
3. An evil corporation (Twitter) helped develop Bluesky.
An evil corporation (Google) helped develop the Fediverse
I have further thoughts here...
