Now that Bluesky is open for everyone, what do you folks think about it?

I know many people here are on #mastodon servers, I'm not sure anyone here is on #threads. What have you folks been using?

All the platforms are very boring

I just joined today. (@enkiv2.bsky.social)

Thus far, it feels like a dumber / more normie / less gay or geeky version of mastodon. Like, mastodon for hillary clinton supporters.

I posted to both, but stopped about a week back on Bluesky as it was really dismally bad interaction - I mean by zero interaction apart from about 2 people. I get way more interaction on Mastodon.

OK I have more followers on Mastodon but I've been on it longer, but I've done 605 posts on Bluesky since it started.

Whilst what I find on Mastodon is very varied, I seem to see a lot of US politics on Bluesky (a disproportional amount). It could be from who I follow, yes, and maybe that'll change as more diverse people come on board.

But I still lean towards Mastodon and ActivityPub, mainly also because ActivityPub is a W3 standard.

I'm not going to use Threads because I deleted all my Meta owned accounts because of the privacy policy they have (especially WhatsApp's one). I am however happy to follow / interact with any friends I left behind on Threads, through ActivityPub protocol, mainly because I'll still be using my Mastodon app, which does not pass all my meatadata along to Threads.

I know many on the Fediverse want to outright block Threads, but I believe it should stay open and let people interact, if if they choose to, they can individually block the Threads instance. I may hate what Facebook stands for, but I do take pity on my friends trapped there, and if I can keep my metadata safe, I'm happy to still interact.
