Hi everyone.

I’m new to these kinds of innovative platforms, and I’ve come across Mastodon and Bluesky in particular. I’ve realized that both use different but equally free and open-source protocols, so my question is: are there any substantial differences between the two social networks? Should I choose one over the other?

Thanks for your replies, and have a great day.

    Its more like Signal and Matrix. Signal is open source and centralized and Matrix is FOSS and decentralized. Bluesky is supposedly decentralized, but in practice is about as decentralized as WhatsApp which runs on decentralized technology (XMPP).

    Choose Mastodon, you are asking this question on its sister platform :)
