Tbf I also like posting stuff without having to write out content warnings for things like “eye contact” and “clouds.”
Bluesky is where people come when they’re sick of Twitter’s bullshit, but can’t figure out Mastodon.

I figured out Mastadon. I joined infosec…cause it’s part of my job, but remember my hobby/passions are SF, 40k and Film…..it was hard building a community.

This. I didn't want to limit the people I could interact with. I like knowing little bits about a lot of people's jobs and interests

I went to their sister site, Counter.Social. Was a paying member, too, considered it a good business investment. Then I got called a pedophile and dog-piled because I had purchased Blue as a business decision. I pulled my membership, and cancelled my account there.

I quit counter dot social when I asked someone to tag a gruesome news article with something, anything, to protect the SA, DV, etc communities. He told me that a #news tag was sufficient, and I was a weirdo (derogatory) for even asking.

Counter Social always feel really weird to me. A bit too much "America! Yeah!". That, and the web design is even worse than Mastodon itself. Why are there news tickers everywhere?

You can enable Ostrich Mode to get rid of the moving parts.

The trick to Mastodon is to just not give a shit

Culturally, I'm simply more Bsky; there's more gossip and randomness. Enjoy Masto & Fedi for sheer weirdness. Thinking a lot about Bsky moderation approach vs. 'FediBlock'.

Eye contact I can kind of see why someone would do that, but clouds?

I'm on Nerdculture and I haven't had those problems. I will drop CWs on certain things, mostly because I know I would appreciate it.

I described something as having a “mastsdon ui problem” and the client immediately understood that I meant “wonky for everyone but engineers”
