Planning to leave #X but not sure where to go? #Blusky #Threads and #Mastodon are all options, but what if you could pick any one of these platforms and reach people on all the others? Now you can! Just follow the instructions on this site I made!

This is possible thanks to Threads & Mastodon being part of the fediverse, an interconnected network of social media sites, & by bridgy fed, a tool that connects Blusky to the #fediverse! ( Just in time for #FOSDEM)
@jmaris I still can’t get how the f Threads is a part of fediwers(yes, I’ve read wiki)
@jmaris however much care because as blue sky and threads become more commercial, more servers in the fediverse will defederate from them. Some already have.
The best way to escape billionaire algorithms is Mastodon .
@peterbrown I personally disagree with the urge to defederate. I believe we should defederate based on actual infringements of the rules. I understand people want to block bsky and threads for ethical reasons, but I think it should be done by individuals not by servers. Mastodon allows users to block instances.
@jmaris fair enough. However, since one of the strengths of social media is its interactivity, it is quite frustrating to discover you’re trying to reply to a post that won’t see your reply.
@peterbrown I agree with you on that
