Mastodon vs BlueSky

Now that I’ve had the chance to try both (thanks to [email protected]), I can say that Mastadon seems more familiar to me as a former Twitter user. Despite being a Twitter spinoff, Bluesky seems to be trying to reinvent the flow of things. I’m not quite sure how hashtags (or their equivalent) work there.

I’m not sure which is better yet, as I’m too new to Bluesky to really form an opinion, but those are my initial impressions.

I’d like to see the National Weather Service and local government agencies start posting to one or both though, as weather and traffic are the only reasons I look at Twitter anymore, and I’d prefer not to support it at all.

Did I waste my money?

I’m also feeling scammed, and I used to mod this channel.

Things started seeming fishy to me when Steve never responded to any of my messages or used any of the support tools I put together for him.

I ended up resigning my mod position a week or so after release. I wasn’t too shocked when the development ceased.

I still have Bean installed but mostly use Voyager now.

Path to 1.0 and App Store

Just an FYI to testers, currently, you are not charged for any of the purchases. They are just dummy purchases to test out the infrastructure (you will see this noted on the screen when attempting to purchase Bean Pro). That being said, I'm ready to make that lifetime Pro purchase for real when Bean hits the App Store.

Getting the word out

It seems like most of the biggest iOS and App communities are on lemmy.world, a side effect of them getting the brunt of the Great Reddit Exodus. There are a few decently-sized Apple communities on other instances, and the general communities of instances are usually friendly to spreading the word (in fact, I found out about Bean from ![email protected]). Plenty of sharing on Mastadon is always a good method too.
