I like it over there. Of all the Twitter alternatives I think it ticks the right boxes.
- Decentralised
- Low barrier to sign up
- Not owned by a crazed billionaire
- No ads
- No popularity algorithm
- Interesting features, like custom feeds and moderation lists
If they can bridge their AT Protocol with ActivityPub then I don’t see why it can’t take off.

Well, that’s the whole point of the whole thing. Bluesky is built on the AT Protocol, which will be federated early this year. bsky.social/about/…/11-15-2023-toward-federation
I know everyone likes to shit on all Social Media that isn’t called Mastodon, but that doesn’t mean Mastodon is the only option. I am on both (and Twitter a bit still too) but Bluesky is where I spend most of my time.

We’re on Lemmy, where proprietary software is poison and companies are literally Hitler.

Theres a group of devs that have been working on a bridge between the protocols I found out about while digging for info about Bluesky.

Jack Dorsey is no longer part of the project.

Not true, Jack Dorsey is not involved in day-to-day development but is still on the board according to an article a few months ago.

He also has no stake in the company. I’d hardly call that “running” it.
