It's not even a fight. Bluesky lost a long long time ago when they launched an incompatible protocol with less features and worse UX and have done absolutely nothing to address this other than add curated feeds which barely work in the first place. Bluesky is so far behind that calling it a fight is just silly.

an incompatible protocol with less features and worse UX

And yet, they have the one thing that matters: the users.

Are these users in the room with us? Because having 5m users for a centralized social network is laughable.

Bluesky so far had zero impact on pop culture especially outside of the US. It's just trolling, bullying and though vomit that got exported from Twitter.

Hi, yes, I'm here. The user. Of both, in fact.

Both Bluesky and Mastodon have their quirks and their different cultures. The feature sets of their protocols may also be different, but they sure aren't relevant to the experience at all, because federation is not a user-facing feature for the vast majority of the social media experience.

Stop cheerleading for social networks. Social networks are not your friends, including Mastodon or the rest of the "fediverse".

Social networks are absolutely our friends.

Like it or not but it's a part of our society that is here to stay. To imagine a world where we suddenly abandon social networks is just delusional.

Also this might be an unpopular opinion but social networks are net good for the society despite the problems they've cause they've helped us solve many more.

I can be friends with a social network if I know my admin and I'm in a small instance. That's the power of federation.
