The question isn't determining whether Bluesky, Mastodon, Twitter, etc is the better platform.

However, there's also good news.

In the same blog post, Automattic announced that auto-sharing of blog posts is coming to #Mastodon!

Personally, I think it’s awesome that the people who joined this fediverse because they didn’t like what one billionaire allowed them to do but like what another billionaire says he’ll allow them to do are leaving this fediverse for the billionaires fediverse.
