I'm active and a bit divided between the two platforms, so I'd love to see them bridged and find this debate rather silly. So hopefully we'll see a unified fediverse some day soon. https://techcrunch.com/2024/02/14/bluesky-and-mastodon-users-are-having-a-fight-that-could-shape-the-next-generation-of-social-media/

To be honest, web2.0 is already a pretty shitty place. This article sums up why, rather well. And the age of generative AI won't improve it. Likely quite the opposite. This is probably what the real web3.0 is going to be like:

This is an excellent blog post (blogs❤️) about the sense of loss I think most of us who have used social media for 15+ years, and have a social conscious, are feeling at this point in time.

“More likely, it’s just an act of mourning, of healing. The door I have to close, before another one can open.
