I guess I don't see the point of restricting one's use of social media.

If I use Bluesky, why would that make my presence on Mastodon any different? Why would it matter if I use both, or neither?

I'm on Tumblr, as well, why would anyone care?

Why gatekeep, I guess is my question.

Depends on how many platforms you want to juggle, I guess.

I use this space, plus ipernity, plus Ko-Fi. A fandom board or two, and email, too. That already feels like more than enough. I'm satisfied. (Have a DA account but will probably delete it soon, as I'm sick of their AI-huckster bullshit. I haven't posted there since early summer.)

@JoanGrey if you can and want to do both, go for it. But I saw a guy this morning that basically said "bye mastodon, I'm moving to bluesky"

And that's a great choice for him. But they're different places with different user groups and styles.

I don't see a reason to imply that a person needs to choose one or the other. I use many. They all fill different needs and have different communities.

I think it's a bad thing to limit the ways in which people form communities, especially now. I think creating an environment in which people are told that one place to build community is better than another is unhelpful.

@JoanGrey Yeah agreed, people can go wherever they want, and I wanna put my efforts into the fediverse.
