It does block them more so than on fedi. When I block someone they can’t see my content nor account, they can’t log out and go see my content. It’s not just filtered, also they have banned accounts and removed content

What do you mean by “kind of see where they’re coming from”?

Those aren’t the kind of forks that this article is addressing

I don’t think there’s currently any platforms that do that but depending on what mobile and computing OS you use there’s client option

You say that but it’s a one year old play form and protocol, of course it is just Bluesky. The Fediverse existed long before Mastodon and Mastodon is 8 years old, so I don’t get your point. That still doesn’t touch upon the negative to tethering users identity to instances. Many of them have tried Mastodon and it was a poor experience for them. So, it’s not an option. The Fediverse isn’t for everyone and that is absolutely okay. People are hoping to leave and not use Twitter/X, they have good alternatives that suits their needs and that should be celebrated.

It is being speculated that they’re trying to give up Surtain and a farm to move up to get a QB

I get it, Sports Twitter is resilient and still is where the good stuff is. I mostly read and listen to The Athletic. The Threads sports community is solid, sports & tech are the reasons I made a Threads account. NFL Threads is typically lively

Same, The Athletic is my primary source of info. I listen to Move The Sticks podcast as well.

Yes, they opened federation a couple months ago and people are running their own PDS. It’s different from Twitter as people can own their identity, it’s only been out a little over a year, give it time dude. Mastodon is 8 years old. Blue sky has custom feeds over 40k of them made by various people, mute lists and block lists that are shareable and abled to be subscribed to, use identities are not tethered to instances, more controls of what they see and don’t see. You have a bunch of liberals and marginalised communities on there enjoying themselves. Why would go to Twitter?

Send them to jail and then I hope hell
