I recently finished the episode of The Verge’s podcast #Decoder with the interview to Bluesky’s CEO and it seems a quite interesting project. At the beginning I wasn’t looking really into it because of their choice of using a new protocol instead of the existing ActivityPub, but after listening to her and the reasons behind this choice maybe I’ll give them a chance.

What do you think? Do you use it alongside with the fediverse?

    I don’t know much about their protocol, but I find it likely to be better than ActivityPub since AP is kind of a mess. However I’m not going back to corporate social media ever again. The fewer corporate things in my life the better.

      As far as I understand, Bluesky is basically a central authority in their protocol. I wouldn’t really call that better than ActivityPub.

      The Activitypub protocol is fine. It could use some minor improvements but there’s definitely no reason for an entirely new protocol.

      Even if the corporate is a public benefit corporation with open source foss code both for server and client?

        public benefit corporation

        They’re still for profit and corporate leadership and values can change. I wouldn’t trust it.
