I am currently discussing with a science organization about BlueSky vs Mastodon. Is there a good (and reasonable) article that describes the issues one needs to think about?
My key points are usually ownership and openness. In Particular BSky is not really integrated with the Fediverse and you can be locked in eventually (and, of course, it is a company that is run by some investors). I saw some good articles come by here, but can’t find them anymore. Can you help ?
