Seriously i have zero idea what is going on with bluesky. I never used it. Why are people saying it's centralised? I also heard that a lot of people are joining it.

It’s possible to criticize both Mastodon and Bluesky for their respective issues

Sure, they're both Twitter-like and hence inherently unsuited to having a discussion for starters.

Mastodon doesn't have low character limits, it's not terrible for having a conversation

Yeah this is kinda what I've never understood. We have these sorts of, complaints about the demographic movements of these platforms, sure, but their actual core structure is inherently optimized to prey on people's worst instincts, make discussion basically impossible. To prioritize pithy remarks and one-liners over productive conversations, they prioritize public facing ideologues blowing up much smaller individuals. Lemmy's slightly better in that regard, but I feel like we're always somehow descending in quality from what even a basic forum would be capable of.
