Mastodon's AGPL license will always be better though

Yeah but if mastodon itself (the community and content) isn't better, then it's a moot point

Oh get the fuck out of here. All Bluesky has is celebrities and celebrity journalists, big fuckin whoop.

I'd way rather talk to real human beings instead of the Public Relations Team of a bunch of wankers.

Sorry, most humans are obsessive about stupid celebrity culture, and that doesn't mean it's a better product. It means it's a more vapid product.

I'm glad blue sky exists for two reasons:

  1. It will likely contribute to more Elon meltdowns
  2. It acts as a containment zone for celebrity and brand worship that's marginally less bad than twitter

Celebrity and brand containment zone is the first good argument I’ve heard to date.
