Gregory's Server@torb @megmac the issue is in part stuff like *this*- simply me trying to reply to this means loading up my *actual* residence instance just to reply.
the dns record thing- i agree with, but that's not why people prefer bsky. they prefer bsky because it feels like a "best hits" of twitter UX, vs Mastodon's incredibly functional suite (if you have the time to learn all the offputting quirks that introduce tremendous friction for no reason and have no obvious solution)
@torb @megmac I use both! I think mastodon is cool! I also think its full of people I don't really *click with* no matter the instance. whereas on bsky ive found my perfect mix of intelligent shitposters & tired techies *immediately*, like, within HOURS of starting. a feat I haven't pulled off on Mastodon despite putting in *hundreds of hours*
I tried! really did! but I barely touch this place except to read/write a response to a post like this. It's just *so clunky* for me, not sure abt a fix
