  • I use both and much prefer Mastodon. As others have said, it’s more mature and the apps (of which there are many) are more polished. Bluesky is a bit glitchy and less feature rich. In fact, you still can’t mute phrases on Bluesky, which is a deal breaker for me.

    Mastodon is harder to find people due to the federated nature, although some mobile apps such as Megalodon on Android and Ice Cubes on iOS do pull follower and following lists from remote instances which makes it easier to find people.

    Bluesky is more like old Twitter, and many people who I’ve followed for years are on there. Trying to out quip each other. Mastodon is more friendly and I’ve found lots of interesting people to follow.






  • I’m a LibreTube person myself, but only because I can’t figure out how to access a YT channel’s playlists in NewPipe. A couple of my subscriptions have unlisted videos that are in playlists (for example MLIG live streams). LibreTube isn’t perfect though. I cannot fully disable the “Home” page.

    AntennaPod (Podcatcher), Imagepipe (Image manipulation esp exifdata), Tusky (mastodon client)









  • I need to try this again. I really wanted to get into it but I bounced off it after about 8-10 hours. I seem to remember feeling it was a bit grindy and dragged in places. I played on PS4 then PS5 and don’t recall tweaking the assist mode. Will need to look at that again. I’m getting a bit long in the tooth and have mild arthritis so don’t have the dexterity I used to have in my 20s - assist modes are great for this. I wish more developers would include them rather than insisting on one level of difficulty. Some of us already have an in-built hard mode!
