What made everybody move from a corporate social media platform to another corporate social media platform instead of the fediverse?
After all, the Fediverse and Activitypub is much more mature than Bluesky and the copycat AT protocol or Threads and … whatever they use.
Use lists on bsky to find people.
And just gained a million people, biggest spike yet. So should be a bit more active.
Yeah, but won’t those 1 million all be speaking spanish?
Nope, portuguese
Also no one pays attention to language settings on Mastodon so your threads are full of German and French speakers with no way to filter them.
This is the thing I dislike more about Mastodon, I do not know if Lemmy handles it differently, but I don’t have this problem with Lemmy.

Potato/Tomato.
I guess some people don’t get the joke.
The sayings potato/potahto and tomato/tomahto mean they’re the same thing.
No one in their right mind would say a potato is a tomato or vice versa, just like no one would ever argue Portuguese and Spanish are the same. They’re both of a category (veggies and languages respectively) but totally different and distinct items within that category.
First person to get it right.
It’s 2m now.
And plenty of them pick up English online
