    I’ve been on Bluesky and Mastodon but I’m seeing people pretty happy with how less toxic it is on Bluesky.

      Just wait until enough sane people have left Twitter; it’ll then implode and the fascist Nazi shitheads will migrate.

      They don’t want an echo chamber- they want to be able to shout their slurs and right-wing bullshit at you while you can’t respond. It’s exactly why places like Voat and that shitty T_D knockoff crashed. Once the ratio of right-wingers to non-right-wingers on Twitter hits a critical amount, they’ll start looking for other places to infest.

        Just wait

        Dude. It’s been 2 years. The people who were going to leave because of Elon already left.

        I’m not saying the current twitter userbase 100% fully believe in his views, but I am saying that they’re not leaving the platform over it.

        Either they don’t know about bluesky/mastodon, or they don’t care enough to leave.

          Uhh, the very existence of this article indicates you’re wrong. Elon removed the block feature and even more users left; how can you say that “the people who were going to leave because of Elon have already left”? Certainly the group who disliked Elon on ideological grounds did, but there are plenty of other users who are leaving because they’re finally deciding the changes Elon is making removes any value they see in remaining on Twitter.

        At least Blue Sky supports community block lists. You can block every nazi with the click of a button

        Yeah bro I wish they would keep to their own echochambers so they can become more and more radicalised and end up causing even more harm in the long run rather than at least having some if minimal exposure to normal fucking people /s

      Toxicity drives engagement. Engagement means more ad views.

      As long as profits are the motive it’s a flawed design.

      How? I’m mostly following mlp-related accounts on mastodon and don’t see any toxicity.

        I haven’t seen any toxicity on the server I’m on (https://mastodon.gamedev.place ) either. But I’ve seen people I follow complain about it in the past, and I trust them. Especially considering they left for Bluesky.

        I think Mastodon users are more technical and blunt, drawing from the same stereotypes that people have (often fairly) thrown at nerdier people. We just need to keep that in mind. And maybe a good ad/explainer, given how many people bounce off the concept of federation and different servers.
