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. https://bsky.social/about/blog/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.
