@Gauss I can agree to most of them!

I just have a few questions :sd_sweatsmile:

- BlueSky: A better Mastodon? I've heard it sucks. Kinda sad it's so popular.

- Discord: How did it ruin the word "server"? I mean.. I know what a server is. Hardware AND Software. And I know the "official" term for discord "servers" are guilds. But still... how? xD

The reason BlueSky sucks, as of now, from what I've heard, is that it's lacking lots of features (like posting videos or polls). The posts there are not publicly available, platform is invite only, and there's probably other stuff I haven't even heard of. What it is better at is account portability: you can use a domain name as your @ and when migrating accounts, post history is kept.

Discord: when I first heard the term "server" I thought it literally meant a server. But it's very different from that, and at least for me that's confusing. Also noone calls them guilds, besides like, Discord devs.

@Gauss oh okay. So that migration thingy is... evil xD
If Mastodon had a better migration system, it would be way better than bluesky then? And then everyone now goes to the fediverse because it's the hype.

To be honest, I don't call it guilds too. Especially since there's no german word for that (hi, I'm german :sd_wave:). But I DO code some bots for discord, so there I call them guilds xD
I can see the confusion though. Bad term, but it also makes sense somehow. I dunno.
