Have you ever heard of the term federation-washing?

    No one is arguing about that. None of that matters when BlueSky turns into the next Xitter. Your social network is irrelevant when you can’t even find those people in a feed full of ads for weight loss supplements and unchecked disinformation.

      I know that. And I do believe Mastodon is superior tech-wise, safer and better.

      But, at this moment, the people I look to reach are on Bluesky, none are on Mastodon.

        Again, that is not the discussion we are having.

          “Im so tired of hearing that getting set up is easier in bluesky, you can do it like this on mastodon”

          “That didn’t set up my account, which includes getting a healthy following base”

          “That’s not the discussion we are having”

          I’m another person but, are you sure it isn’t? Setting up the account is not only creation, it’s all the tweaks until it’s useful for the user. If the user needs connections and searching for them is harder (due to how search works currently with federation) then setting up is indeed harder on Mastodon, which is the point the one you are responding to is reinforcing.

            Not having users on the platform is not part of account set up, no.
