"If voting could change anything, they'd take it away!" They are trying to! www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...
Voting alone is not enough to save democracy, but it is a necessary step to prevent it from backsliding even further. Winning elections helps set the stage for all the battles we need to win to create a more just world. www.vote.org #NationalVoterRegistrationDay #VoterRegistration #vote #GOTV

Actually, I've also noticed some of the more popular accounts on here not getting a ton of activity. But some things do seem to go "viral", so I don't know.
Similar experience. Granted, I don't really post here very much, but a few things got..."reskeeted" by high-follower-count accounts with very little attention.
Ah! Well. Nevertheless.
"there aren’t public metrics" I haven't looked too closely at the source, but atp.fyi/network seems to show a nice overview.
We have a lot that's good going for us. We're grassroots. Communities built and managed by communities. No ads and no algorithms in your home timeline. We stand up for each other. And we do not tolerate fascism. #fediverse #bluesky
With some contemplating whether Bluesky is the right place to be, I'll just say, the fediverse is by no means perfect. There's infighting, resistance to change (we're only getting quote posts starting next week!), and communities come and go. But- !
just saying my admin never posts shit like this on mastodon
I think Bluesky has been clear from the beginning about what they were building and why. A whole lot of people didn’t take them seriously, or maybe thought they could be hollered into changing course, but I don’t think they have.
Yes. It has actual human beings who do moderation with people on their servers who would get very pissy if they pulled the kind of shit bluesky pulls, and when that happens there are usually actual consequences

Today, we’re ready to show you the upcoming quote posts feature in more detail. We’ve put together a blog post with examples of how quote posts will work on Mastodon, ahead of early access on our own servers next week 💬 Full launch to come, in Mastodon v4.5 […]
Mastodon is finally getting proper quote posts. "The feature is nearly finished, and you can expect a full blog post on it very soon!" blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/09/trun... #mastodon #fediverse #SocialMedia

I certainly have my own opinions and feelings about the whole "fediverse vs Bluesky" thing, but this joint statement is a good reminder that fighting on the internet is never a good look. "We do not win by tearing each other down [...]" #fediverse #bluesky #activitypub #ATProto

That makes sense! I haven't really been following your work too closely, but it looks very interesting. Best of luck!
I'd say the main difference between ATProto and fediverse that matters to me is that communities run their own individual servers, so there is a lot more independence, and less centralization. And you can do that for a few $/mo: masto.host/pricing/
Somehow I assumed that the Blacksky team considered the fediverse and found it lacking and found ATProto more suitable? Interesting. Either way, for a high-level overview, this might be helpful: jointhefediverse.net
We have good days over there, for sure.
