Hey that sounds really cool. I’ll check that out.

OK understood why you prefer bluesky.

One of the things I really like about Mastodon is that I can curate my feed to show only what I am interested in by following hashtags and/or people and muting those people whose posts I don’t want to see. There’s no hidden algorithm controlling my feed, pushing controversial posts towards me and other stuff. So I don’t get why would you need the invite only feature of bluesky control your feed?

Really, variety of options and potential interlinkage with other kinds of Fediverse projects is what really excites me about the Fediverse.

Lol that’s an interesting idea!

Oh yes, this reason makes sense.

I guess different people have different use cases. I am enjoying Mastodon and have had positive interactions with people. I have also found a lot of good quality content there. Additionally, I totally avoid political stuff so haven’t had any issues of political stuff messing up my feed. IMO the invite only thing is just increasing attractiveness by creating artificial scarcity.

I followed the link and got the message that “you are a tester”, but when I am going to play store I am only seeing “register” option and no download option. How to download this app? Never mind, I checked back after a couple of hours and could download it

What’s so special about bluesky that people are migrating there?

Then better to try the app. That may work.

On my a52s I have tried with Mozilla without issue. Maybe try different browsers?

For lemmy (on android) I use eternity, voyager, liftoff, connect. For Mastodon, for android I use moshidon and on windows pc I use elk.

Yeah, I think people got rubbed the wrong way only from the title. I don’t think they bothered to read it. I don’t think the article in any way emphasised that Roman concrete is better than modern; rather it talked about findings of certain researchers. It was the chemistry which I found interesting.

This is exactly what I was thinking about!

Interesting ideas…

This article is about research on self healing properties of Roman concrete. It’s not all about a one on one comparison. The chemistry behind the self healing properties is interesting and not definitively established.

This article is literally about doing research to better understand the chemistry behind the self healing properties of Roman concrete to maybe use the findings to improve modern concrete. This is the aspect which I find so interesting : the chemistry. Literally no one is talking about going back to traditional values and blah blah. That’s something which I personally abhor. Did you even read the article? Where did you find this in the article? Of course titles of articles tend to be over dramatic.

Well if some research on Roman concrete can help us better understand self healing, won’t that be good?
