> a hall of shame Usually that's the opposite that happen with these kind of people. They are going to look forward on being the at the top of the leaderboard, like a child doing stupid things only to get noticed by its parents.

Assuming blocks themselves are never childish. Jordan Peterson is on the list and he doesn't even use the site: https://bsky.app/profile/jordanbpeterson.bsky.social

Seems odd to be one of the most blocked with zero posts

Highly recommend folks check out Mastodon as well - fully decentralized, no ads, no algo, no corporate control. It is continuing to grow steadily and has tons of activity compared to a few years ago. https://joinmastodon.org/

I signed up to Fosstodon and then followed a bunch of Python and Django folks. This has been great so far, and my feed is full of relevant, interesting posts. I see a lot of posts complaining about Mastodon and pointing to its decline, but for my use-case, I get a lot of value from it and am pretty happy. I'm not sure what benefits I would get by moving over to Bluesky?

So odd that a pseudo-decentralized centralized company gets so much attention when Nostr is actually decentralized but never gets mentioned.

Because people don't care about decentralization, they care about vibes and the vibes of Nostr are "right wing grifters and crypto scammers"

why isn't mastodon one of the winners like bluesky?

Because you can go to Bluesky and click “Sign Up” without a confusing explanation about instances.

This. Nostr could learn from this too.

Zuck dropped the ball bad.

Threads was the fastest growing app of all time and now has ~300m MAU, 1m new users a day and is on track to being larger than X in about a year. And then once they switch on advertising will be printing tens of billions a year.

Hard to see how they've dropped the ball on this one.

This isn't the most important reason, but compared to similar web sites, Mastodon's user experience is awkward.
