If the internet has a future, it’s on the Fediverse. We work around capitalism to avoid enshittification, or we let it defer our future further.

In the meantime, the Fediverse needs to get shiny and intuitive. The sign that something is cumbersome and hard to use is people saying “it’s not that bad”.

People may disagree with how BlueSky is organized and architected, but I get why they decided to do what they did. User experience.

Their architectural decisions mean that people don’t have to worry about instances confusing people, and the org structure means is easy to staff a proper dedicated experience team that can be working, planning, and testing before big expensive decisions are committed to code.

  Bluesky is apart of the Fediverse and the quicker ActivityPub sites accommodate that fact the quicker we’ll have an open internet.
  
  This pissing fight between ActivityPub sites and Bluesky is dumb and doesn’t further an open internet.
  
  Not directed at you but to a lot, go put time into making Mastodon compatible with atProto instead of bitching.

    Didn’t BlueSky come up with their own federation system because… Fuck you?
    
    I mean, what was wrong with using the ActivityPub standard?

    I can’t find the source but if I recall bluesky relies on running feeds through central servers and it has patents on its methods so I would say bsky federation has some asterisks.

    Filing as a B corp wouldn’t be my first choice if I was trying to prioritize getting rich.

    That is how it usually starts. It start innocent but the moment you see potential money you either become like OpenAI or Google. It does not help that their protocol is basically is how search engine works. They control the flow of information and funded by venture capital.
