Hi everyone.

I’m new to these kinds of innovative platforms, and I’ve come across Mastodon and Bluesky in particular. I’ve realized that both use different but equally free and open-source protocols, so my question is: are there any substantial differences between the two social networks? Should I choose one over the other?

Thanks for your replies, and have a great day.

      I agree, but I can understand why BlueSky is doing better. A key component of the quality of the product is the number of users. I’m not active on either of them, but I do have a Mastodon account I barely use because it feels lonely.

        Popularity at the cost of ads, algorithms, and corpo censorship isn’t something I am willing to trade. Though I don’t use Mastodon or Bluesky, I just use Lemmy.
