  • Yeah… but I think it’s too late for Mastodon to be popular. Bluesky is already at the tipping point.

    Mastodon just needed to sign you up to their own default server, power users could sign up to different ones and they would have still got the regulars in the door. Mastodon also needed twitter feature parity, something Bluesky also managed much faster.

    Once people are in and settled, then they would start asking questions about that URL after their username, people would slowly become comfortable with the federation and understand it.












  • Them being portable makes them actually useful though for me, unless there was a way to use them from a phone to login to a website on a desktop/other device.

    Being able to login into a password manager and use a passkey is great, passkeys need to become mainstream to get everyone away from passwords, but they can’t be locked locally onto one platform or you have issues. The regular joe won’t be backing them up from their iPhones or whatever.

    I don’t see why a local option wouldn’t exist though, perhaps they will come once passkeys have matured further.
