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.

One year ago, the first post on Bluesky was created. Now, we're working toward federation and a truly open network.
