Admittedly, I don't know enough about monopolies and antitrust laws to know how much this matters. Can someone ELI5 this and give us more info?

UGGGGHHHH, please let it not happen.

It's so weird to see an MTG post and... yeah... I'm over here like: LFG.

Agreed. It's silly.

I like Mastodon. It's like social media from 2010, chronological, only seeing what you want, great curation tools, and no ads or stupid algorithm. Moderation is also way better on Mastodon, though it can vary by instance.

I haven't used BlueSky, but I imagine it feels pretty familiar, which is what a lot of people want, and that's cool too.

They can both be good things.

Deleted mine two years ago.

Kinda surprised it took everyone this long, TBH.

I can only assume BlueSky feels more familiar.

Mastodon requires a bit of effort, lacking an algorithm to drive content toward users, so you have to do a bit more yourself.

Sounds about right.

Even after 2016, the Dems haven't figured out what a bad idea it is to double down on their way of thinking, even in service to self-interest.

There aren't any ads on Mastodon. :)

You just search hashtags or set up a column so you have a feed giving you everything under a given hashtag, though it may be those communities are so niche there isn't much on the Mastodon instance you chose. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a specific instance for Buddhism itself, though, given that it's such a massive world religion.

That's probably fair. There's an abundance of smug assholery in the world right now. Apologies.

Must be nice to be so rich that you can just be this fucking weird in public.

I think this is the crowd that tried Mastodon and then abandoned it when they realized it required a modicum of effort.
