minus-squareson_named_bort@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up27arrow-down3·1 year agoEasier sign up. On BlueSky you can just sign up for an account and go. You don’t have to worry about picking an instance or anything like on Mastodon, which can be a bit off-putting for someone not familiar with federation.
