Hell no, fuck Bluesky. There is no reason not to adopt ActivityPub when trying to build an open, federated Twitter alternative. Except for power and control over the platform, its core protocol and ecosystem. Screw these guys, use Mastodon or anything on the Fediverse.

Considering Meta is doubling down on disinformation, more people should go to Mastodon and Bsky over Threads or Twitter.

except they adopted atproto because it fixed issues with activitypub portability and sharing

This is their stupid excuse. They could still implement ActiviyPub as a secondary federation protocol. (Bluesky <-> Bluesky via ATProto, Bluesky <-> Fediverse via ActivityPub). They decided against it. It’s an intentional choice, and they’re just making up excuses.

i mean that’s pretty much already done via third party (i can already follow mastodon users on bsky and bsky users on mastodon);

i don’t think jack funded it he was just an original board member; but he left the board a month or two ago.

Yeah, it seems pretty good.

I’d agree. For now at least it’s pretty good.
