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.


ATproto is decentralised. the data is decentralised. Is is not federated because there is NOTHING to federate. Like a search engine aggregating and indexing the whole web to provide dicoverability, AppViews aggragate the data from all the PDSs amd show a global view of the network. PDSes don’r talk to each other
