Now that Bluesky is open to everyone someone desperately needs to build a good client. The posts there are so damn good, but reading them is an absolute nightmare, hopefully someone like @MonaApp takes a crack at it. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ
@mergesort what gives you hope that it wonโ€™t turn into Twitter 2.0? That is why I donโ€™t have an account.
@steveriggins There's nothing stopping any platform from becoming Twitter 2.0, but it has completely different primitives than Twitter. It's built on a completely open protocol with an open ecosystem that's already more vast than ActivityPub, and by combining custom feeds and composable moderation you have a lot of control over your own experience.
@mergesort @steveriggins In what way is it "more vast than Activitypub"? It's one service with one app - and Mastodon alone has more active users than Bluesky. (Plus Activitypub actually have other services as well. ๐Ÿ™ƒ)
@havn @steveriggins That's a fair callout, I consider custom feeds and filters to be a part of the ecosystem. For example I'm using a custom For You feed that is being used by ~20,000 other people, but there are also tens of thousands of other feeds that provide different experiences of the AT world. Building that on top of ActivityPub is harder because many decisions are made at the app/server/platform layer, where my preferred choice is to let those decisions happen per individual.
