Yeah, we don't have millions in VC or private equity funding to dump into marketing and to smooze with the tech press enough for them to actually do their jobs as journalists and cover the fediverse with a modicum more of nuance then "Mastodon is just for nerds, even the Mastodon CEO says so! Use Bluesky, it is corporate and its marketing promises what the fediverse already has so in that sense they are equivalent and lets be honest that means you should use Bluesky."
