- Whilst I agree that Mastodon servers is good for long term independence & that BlueSky might get sold off to a RW billionaire who thrashes it, I feel Mastodon doesn’t have the critical mass that BlueSky has already achieved (and would grow further if more govt agencies made it their primary service)
