A colleage of mine working in the same field recently made a Bluesky post that I found interesting. The kinda stuff I'd share on a good day.
He got four likes and two shares - one of each came from me through Bridgy Fed. I very rarely get that little on Mastodon.
He has almost 800 followers there. I have less than 200 on Mastodon.
My takeaway is that Bluesky has this potential for posts to get pushed into every feed, but if they fall through the cracks of the algorithm they might go completely unnoticed. So you end up changing how you post in order to please the algorithm, losing yourself in the process.
Mastodon just feels chill to me. And I'm bridged, so I can always go viral on Bluesky anyway, I just won't be all that aware of it.
Yeah, if you're chasing likes for clout, that's true. Use it as an actual social network and that won't matter.
