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.


Bsky is owned by a transphobe, and funded by venture capital. Also from what I’ve heard they have the ability to ban anyone on any instance of bsky, not just the flagship one, I might be wrong on that one though.
Mastodon has its problems, but there’s a scale to it. I personally don’t care for the Mastodon software much, my own non-lemmy fedi account is on Friendica, but still.
