Mastodon is lead by a singular developer that uses Ruby for his app that hasnt gotten a new feature in 2+ years and they dont accept pull requests from community members that have been adding features to third party apps that new users never learn exist because they get stufk between learning what a “fediverse instance” is

Meanwhile Bluesky has features twitter or any other platform dont have yet (custom algorithms, chronological feed with a couple posts from your custom feeds in between some chronological posts, adding custom moderators)

The protocol that Bluesky used also has a lemmy/reddit alternative too https://frontpage.fyi/ (in beta)

That's definitely not beta, it feels more like a very early alpha

And it looks more like Hacker News or lobste.rs, not Lemmy or Reddit, since it doesn't allow the creation of threads, only posting URLs?
