I wanted to understand their perspective. But that doesn't seem to be something they are willing to share in any more detail.
There was no implication being made.
What measure of difficulty of content discovery are you using to determine that it is difficult? What would not difficult content discovery be? What content is there is desired to be discovered What do you mean by, 'there is no "why" here'?
I have many questions about how people perceive the current state of things and what they view as potential areas for improvement.
Seriously. What's up? You're responding with a great amount of negativity. You've accused me of gaslighting and being moronic with no provocation that would warrant either response.
Many of the functions provided by a Mastodon service is split into separate services in the AT Protocol. This means there are instances that just handle an end users data, instances that just handle indexing and streaming out the amalgamated end user data being streamed to the "relay", there are instances that are just filtering the stream from the indexing relay. so basically the various backend parts are modular with the AT Protocol rather than monolithic as is assumed by the ActivityPub protocol where separation is assumed to be only between the frontend and backend of the service.
Bluesky is probably going to capture more of that than Mastodon. But threads is similarly struggling to develop it as well and they have very low barrier for new signups for anyone with a Facebook or Instagram account.
Bluesky has no documentation for running a relay (indexing node). It doesn't seem like they intend to have any documentation on it any time soon. But it is possible to set one up yourself. I don't know anyone that has done so.
This reads like someone telling me that the nazi bar is the only place to go because the nazi bar has people there all the time and the other bars are mostly empty.
Lemmy.world has no lock in on their "power". They have the most volunteer labor, money, and infrastructure. That's makes them stable, so people aren't worried about their data suddenly going offline (like kbin) and they don't worry about the service being flaky.
How does that site count active accounts?
