If you wanna know why I prefer the #Fediverse over Bluesky, this right here is the biggest reason. Because all of these different platforms use #ActivityPub, you have the freedom to choose the social networking software that works best for you, without losing touch with friends... unlike Bluesky. - ThreadSky

If you don't like Mastodon, you can try Pleroma or Friendica or Sharkkey or Wafrn. If you want something more Insta-flavored, there's Pixelfed. For a video-focused experience, try PeerTube or Loops. Lemmy and kbin are like Reddit. Even Wordpress can join the fun. And they ALL can talk to each other!

To me, the Fediverse is freedom - the freedom to choose what works best for me without compromising my network. I can move between platforms & apps, or even use multiple if I want - and thanks to ActivityPub I can still follow my friends on *any other* compatible platform when I do!

Right now on ATProto, my microblogging option is just Bluesky. And though I 100% believe it's an improvement over Twitter, I'm just personally not a fan of Bluesky. There's a few good things for sure, but I don't like how feature limited it is, nor their centralized-in-practice architecture either.

Federated, decentralized social media is the way of the future - a rejection of centralized, controlled platforms and a return to a more free, open, and personalized experience. It's been a breath of fresh air for me. If it sounds interesting to you too, I highly encourage you to give it a try!

If you have questions or want more information about the Fediverse and how to get started, please feel free to ask away - I'm happy to share what I know (or help you find answers for the things I don't know).
