Mastodon and Bluesky are better than the centralized status quo. But between the two, I predict that Mastodon's ActivityPub will outlast Bluesky's AT Proto. More thoughts here: https://evanhahn.com/prediction-mastodon-will-outlive-bluesky/

@EvanHahn years ago a colleague remarked to me that social media are a form of pop culture: generations adopt them, then eventually for various reasons the culture moves on (how many young people today even know what MTV was?). I wasn't convinced at the time because Facebook felt like infrastructure, not a media outlet, but I think he was more right than wrong. IMO it remains to be seen whether decentralized social media are immune to this effect.
