Highly recommend folks check out Mastodon as well - fully decentralized, no ads, no algo, no corporate control.

It is continuing to grow steadily and has tons of activity compared to a few years ago.

Because you can go to Bluesky and click “Sign Up” without a confusing explanation about instances.

Mastodon has a big honkin' "Join mastodon.social" button both on joinmastodon.org and in the mobile apps to solve this exact problem.

But the fact they still have this perception of confusing sign-up means they were too late.
