    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 removed.

        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. They have done a great job insulating users from the structural elements which reduces confusion.

        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 or the funding runs out you either become like OpenAI, Google or go obscure worst bankruptcy. It does not help that their protocol is basically how search engine works today. They control the flow of information and funded by venture capital.

            Yeah probably. If you told me in 2013 that reddit would go to shit in 2023 I would not really do anything different. Knowing bluesky will go to shit wouldn’t really change anything (if I was a fan of the Twitter format) either.
