Tim Chambers blogs some more thoughts on where the social web platforms are right now:

Threads and Bluesky’s massive success of late and Mastodon’s modest success does not make Mastodon and other fediverse/activitypub offerings losers. In this case it isn’t zero-sum. Fully open, patent free, non-commercial offerings like Mastodon, etc, have different needs and lifecycles and futures not tied to VC’s or shareholders.

Jefferson Burson

I agree with the non zero-sum notion. I seem to be slowly settling into both Mastodon and BlueSky – both through micro.blog. Roughly speaking, my “geek” acquaintances are on Mastodon and my less technical acquaintances are on Bluesky. I tried out threads but eventually turned off that account – it had a really weird vibe in terms of the posts and activity there.
