@rolle So good! Saved for later…

@rolle what are the middle 2 icons?

@rolle The problem with Mastodon is that "everything but the kitchen sink" is a solution with no vision nor purpose.

@rolle I think it’s deceptive to label #Mastodon as a “safe space”, there’s a right wing corner of the #Mastodon too

Aren’t people supposed to be able to self host #Bluesky, at least eventually?

It’d be nice to see quote posts on here, #Mastodon is supposed to be getting those

@rolle A lot of these features that distinguish Fedi are *worse* for most users. Opt-in search means it's hard to find what I'm looking for; it's way worse user experience than the global search available on Bluesky, and has been cited as one of the top reasons by people who chose not to use the Fediverse why they left.

@rolle And alt text?

@rolle You can add a row for "Funding" which could be Ads, VC, Ads, and non-profit.

@rolle That’s the reason why I use #Mastodon in the lovely #Fediverse 😇

@rolle
Wow, Mastodon is democratic feature superhero!

@rolle

#Spoutible

@rolle okay, das mit dem "safe space" würde ich nicht zu 100% unterschreiben. Ich habe hier schon dinge gesehen, die hab sogar ich noch nicht gesehen. Gut im Play Store ist Mastodon mit 18 Jahren empfohlen und im App Store 17+ - für Kinder und Jugendliche würde ich es tatsächlich nicht empfehlen.

@rolle Twitter actually is partly open-source:

@rolle the only way threads can get 130 million in so little time has to be counting Instagram users even if they do not use threads, right? Like, misclicking something and getting flagged as an active user. I had to be extra careful on the Instagram app.
I can't believe in that number after the rocky start. Am I out of touch with the cool kids? Are they all using Threads now?

@rolle your alt-text 😙👌

@rolle@mementomori.social cant you set even high then 10000 it say 16000 for me

@rolle 10000? Pathetic.

@rolle telling it like it is

@rolle Bluesky does have content warnings though

@rolle 👏 for the extensive alt text! 🎆

@rolle We need a return to txtmob😎. The code is still out there in the wild https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/TXTMob

@rolle this is well done, good job! only question I have is whats not open source about Bluesky? I thought they released everything

@rolle

Perhaps the Fediverse is not always a safe space for everybody (I think of BIPOC) but here is the only one trying to do better.

@rolle also the "#NotYet" is misleading since those claims are unverified aka. "TrustMeBro"-Style promises.

Not to mention #BlueSky is run be the traitor that sold off #Twitter and #Threads is done by #NSAbook.

So all but tue :fediverse: suck!

@rolle this table goes into my bookmark list :blobcathappy:

@rolle #Mastodon just needs more users. Hence why I see the #ActivityPub federation to #Threads as a good thing. It may actually then look like a very compelling rival - all those features AND the users!

> Perhaps the Fediverse is not always a safe space for everybody

@rolle Keine Algorithmen. ✅

@rolle mastodon only 14 million sounds impossible …that’s as close to saying no one, not a soul uses mastodon as it gets

@rolle 'safe space' come on, what does that even mean? Most of the fediverse is fediblocked?

@rolle Nicely done!
Small nitpick: I wonder if there would be a way to incorporate Fedi (vs Mastodon only) without compromising the clarity. Maybe in the alt text.
Only real difference is if the other software supports CW.
Then again I think Mastodon proper is 50-75% of the traffic...

@rolle FYI: Bluesky (or ATProto according to the diagram there) *can* be self-hosted. The thing is the instance of the Bluesky BGS doesn’t aggregate with other PDSs but Bluesky’s official one (for now). So while technically you can self-host it, it may not be as useful until your PDS can be connected to the main BGS.

@rolle no ads on masto? what do you call this then?

@rolle That's an interesting chart! Thanks for taking the time of putting this together.

@rolle

One criteria I would add to that chart would be "is it #AltText/Voiceover friendly?" I know Mastodon allows visually impaired users to hear text, and the culture here promotes lots of AltText inclusion. Technically, AltText is possible on the Bird Site, but I haven't checked to see if folks include it often.

@rolle I wouldn't call #Mastodon or the #Fediverse a safe space, though.

Depending on where you look, you can definitely find the unfiltered and unrestricted variety™ of the internet. But I think that's a good thing. And there are plenty of tools to protect yourself. Maybe that's what you meant?

@rolle Safe space yes, untill you start using mastodons not encrypted private messaging. Then this whole "safe" turn out to be not so much safe or even not safe at all. 🙃

@rolle promising that mastodon is a safe space is dangerously overoptimistic, people have been burned believing that promise, is it better? Heck yes, but "safe"? no, not by a wide margin.

@rolle under safe space I'd honestly say Masto is a "maybe"

Far more likely than in the other spots ofc

@rolle

I'd like a row for whether posts can be viewed without an account / without logging in.

I think X/Twitter is "sort of" because now you can only see one post, but not all the replies, if someone posts a twitter link.

I don't know what the status is for Bluesky or Threads.

I think on Mastodon public posts w/ public replies can be seen without logging in, as long as no blocking or other federation issues?

Please correct if wrong!
