When even Cory Doctrow starts to sound like an optimist I have to give myself a reality check as it usually means I’m heading off the deep end. But in this case it just rubs me the wrong way that he talks about Mastodon and Bluesky in the same breath – one is not like the other.
I think he’s pragmatic in the “whatever tool gets the job done” sense, but not in the “this is the job we should be doing” sense — if that makes any sense :)
That makes perfect sense. Thanks for explaining it so well!
