Interesting thread started by Twitter founder (and Bluesky founder) Anil Dash and attracting dozens of commenters comparing Mastodon to the nascent Bluesky social network. I don't have access to Bluesky yet so I can't compare them personally (the subject of invitations does come up in the conversation). Dash writes, "Bluesky is better at: Onboarding & signup experience, having fewer choices to make, quality of the default app, familiarity for people used to Twitter's design, discovery of other users within the existing service."
