A post from Bluesky that reads: "Mastodon boosters do themselves no favors by assuming *everyone* who doesn't care for it must be so bad at technology that they can't turn on their TV am pretty good at technology which makes me feel confident when I say Mastodon is still needlessly annoying to use"

   It never ceases to amaze me how hard people shit on Mastodon. This post is from Bluesky, but like, I have used Twitter, Bluesky, and Mastodon and I find Mastodon to be the EASIEST out of all of them.

   On Mastodon I don't worry about my post text limit. I type until I am satisfied. On Bluesky I have to carefully craft my words so they make sense but still fit in an arbitrary character count of 300.

   Also Bluesky doesn't have:
   DMs
   Hashtags
   Pinned posts
   GIFs or video support
   Post editing
   And more!

   So like, where is the competition? I don't understand why they think it is hard. I open Mastodon just like Twitter and post just like Twitter. It isn't any more of a hassle than any other program, in fact the character limit makes it less of a hassle. I feel like the mental gymnastics are strong here.
