Why did this put Threads first? It’s not chronologically? And it’s not user counts? This seems free advertising for a service that hardly compares even with the likes of Xhitter - which isn’t even one of the options?
As the recent USA election shows, nothing is billionaire-“proof”. They could e.g. put huge tariffs on purchasing server machines, or on non-mobile-device internet access, or use of any IP address that is not registered with a central authority and verified™ to run only M$-“approved” software.
Also I thought there is no (real) account migration on Mastodon either (at least, people have definitely reported feeling “stuck” in that while they can move, will any of their followers be able to successfully follow them after they do?). Nor can celebrities prevent people from impersonating them on new instances - which according to them is why they haven’t joined it (last I heard).
Sorry, I am probably vastly overthinking this, and the graphical style is cute. I think I’m just overreacting to the idea that Mastodon seems to be having an identity crisis where it both wants to be something entirely different than Xhitter, while also competing with / replacing it at the same time, yet refusing to do the things that would make that happen (like make changes to be more welcoming to celebrities). If we want to remain a niche, like a federated service for the common person, then just do that?
Kind of non-sense comparing different categories. I wish Mastodon had ways for me to be discovered, I’m in the dark here

That’s a feature in Mastodon not a bug 🙃 /s.
If Ur being active enough and use the relevant hashtag, people would notice u eventually.
Thanks for the feedback on categories.
As for discoverability, posting frequently to your local community can help you reach a wider audience. Additionally, using relevant hashtags can significantly boost your content’s visibility, as many people use them to find new content.
Thanks for the tips! ;) sorry my use of non-sense was rude
I’m sorry, the platform that allows you to use a custom domain as your identity has “no account portability”, as opposed to the one where you have to manually copy over almost everything?
Yes because as I understand it the custom domain is basically just a pointer. Everything still goes through the bsky servers and you can be deplatformed there at the whim of an admin/mod (On Mastodon if you don’t run your own instance that can still happen, but you can instance hop. If you run your own then other instances can block your instance but it’s not the whole network all at once)
