Every day I like Mastodon more and I don't totally understand why. I think it helped that (1) some of the most inflamed and inflammable people from Mastodon moved on to Bluesky and (2) the algorithmic feed on Bluesky actually does filter the worst content if you are consistent with the "show me less like this button".

I think the quality of engagement I get on Mastodon is better than everywhere.

I don't buy into the "you have to be on one place" story though, I post my photos to a wide range of sites because it isn't that much extra work: I mean, I post to Instagram because that's what students at my Uni use [1] and posting those to Threads is just a flip of a switch.
