Mastodon: Bluesky is Bad, actually
Bluesky: Mastodon is Bad, actually

It’s like a shit version of West Side Story. how long before a Mastodon user and a Bluesky user fall in love while communicating exclusively over the fedi bridge

@sophie yeah, I don’t get the elitism of it all. Use what you like, use them all if you want, but stop worrying about what everyone else is using.

@cassem @sophie ...with the problem being that if my server federates with Bluesky and therefore sends it my user data, their for-profit crypto/AI investors will get access to my data.

@lianna @sophie unless your posts are set to private, my understanding is they’ve got it all anyway. I could be wrong.

@lianna @sophie ostensibly the same way they scrape public data off the web today: bots, spiders, etc

@cassem @sophie Scraping the web gets vastly less usable results than having access to actual structured information like post time, boosts, connections to other profiles, posting behavior and so on.

I do machine learning for a living. I wouldn't even attempt using web-scraped social data for analysis unless I was only looking for the simplest metrics like word count.

@lianna @sophie fair enough. I would say, still not a reason to shame or chide someone else for their decision to use one, the other, or both. Still arrives at you do you.

@cassem @sophie I am just suspicious of people who make the conscious choice to go to a corporate, for-profit social media site run by shady crypto and AI investors, when the Fediverse is and has been right here for more than a decade.

That's a decision they make, and it hints towards them being bad people.
