OP has posted (and re-posted) about Bluesky about 40 times in the last 48 hours. I'm down voting every single one. Quit shilling for billionaires.

Everybody talks about "why not Mastodon" in the comments of these. I thought about that for a long while back when I used Mastodon, and I have an answer: discoverability. ActivityPub does not make things easy to find, which makes a Twitter-like service even more like screaming into the void. It effectively becomes "bring your own audience," and tends to only amplify the voices that are already the loudest, though as a consequence of the backend, rather than a malicious choice like Twitter.

OP is really shilling for Bluesky.

I need the same but for Mastodon, does anyone know of anything that's still working?
