I use both and much prefer Mastodon. As others have said, it's more mature and the apps (of which there are many) are more polished. Bluesky is a bit glitchy and less feature rich. In fact, you still can't mute phrases on Bluesky, which is a deal breaker for me.

Mastodon is harder to find people due to the federated nature, although some mobile apps such as Megalodon on Android and Ice Cubes on iOS do pull follower and following lists from remote instances which makes it easier to find people.

Bluesky is more like old Twitter, and many people who I've followed for years are on there. Trying to out quip each other. Mastodon is more friendly and I've found lots of interesting people to follow.

I realise it's little consolation, but having not seen the before it looks great. I've had a beard for, like 20/30 years and rarely last more than a couple of months before getting annoyed with it, lopping the whole thing off and starting from scratch.

I'm a LibreTube person myself, but only because I can't figure out how to access a YT channel's playlists in NewPipe. A couple of my subscriptions have unlisted videos that are in playlists (for example MLIG live streams). LibreTube isn't perfect though. I cannot fully disable the "Home" page.

Also

AntennaPod (Podcatcher), Imagepipe (Image manipulation esp exifdata), Tusky (mastodon client)

My Life in Gaming

[–] rubikcuber@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Unfortunately I played it on console... Either Switch or Xbox, but I see it's on sale on Steam at the moment, so maybe I'll give it a go on PC and can always fall back on some mods if need be. Thanks.

I'm getting a bit older and have mild arthritis and being forced to play games "as developers intended" really grinds my gears. I'm stuck someway through Hollow Knight and doubt I'll ever go back to it. Some of us are already playing things on hard mode!

More like "this is the PS3 that came with the pile of dust I bought."

I honestly cannot remember when I last watched a movie. However, in the last week I've binged two seasons of Star Trek Discovery.

My getting old moan is that my hands barely function when I wake. I used to think it was because I lie on them, but apparently it's a form of arthritis. No doubt brought on my 30 years of work in videogames development. Luckily my SO has brought me a cup of tea to wrap my creaking hands around to warm them up and get them moving again.

Cassette Beasts requires a controller on game pass, sadly
