@_elena Thanks, that's interesting! I was unaware that Friendica had that feature. It seems like a very good idea.

In the context of the OP's question about people rejecting the Fediverse in favor of Bluesky, though, it would have been Mastodon they were rejecting in almost all cases (because that was what people flocked to as a Twitter alternative). So, for this particular discussion, I think that the features of Mastodon are most relevant, but I agree that the culture of the Fediverse overall is also relevant.
