minus-squareNadru@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 month agoI’ve been stupidly trying to convince them to use Mastodon on the same thread on reddit yesterday. Some prefer the interface, but I guess the real issue is what stopping them from selling it to another Musk like they did with Twitter.
minus-squareJin@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 month agoI was on Mastodon, but host or whatever you call it, didn’t like what I said and got banned. Feel like bluesky wouldn’t have that kind of power and control by one person and be more open and popular.
