Nick on Nostr: When you're invested in something (as people in this thread are invested in Mastodon) ...

When you're invested in something (as people in this thread are invested in Mastodon) and people don't like it, it's tempting to believe that they don't like it because of some fault of theirs, they're stupid, or ignorant, or lazy, etc. However, this is generally self-deception, so when I find myself thinking this way, I generally try to suppress that urge and look for other reasons.

I use both networks currently. Though generally I prefer Mastodon for myself, I see plenty of valid reasons why one would prefer Bluesky. I won't try to list them, as I see that most of the ones I have in mind have already been mentioned elsewhere in response to the OP. I would encourage folks to actually listen to those rather than formulating more comforting hypothetical explanations.
