The app has the edge where X once dominated: news and live events.

    Bluesky is mit licensed, if it goes bad what’s to stop a fork? Once there’s interop between the protocols will it matter at all?

      Not 100% sure but I don’t think anything would stop either a fork or a new app that uses the same protocol.

        I really don’t see how it could matter tbh

        I think lemmy should get atproto support too.

      There are a million ways open platforms can be undermined, especially when serious money stands to be gained from it. See basically all of human history as exhibit A…

        Can you give a specific example of how bluesky could be?

          yes, see this thread

          https://social.wildeboer.net/@jwildeboer/113487613965056474

          “#BlueSky isn’t decentralised or federated. The outage yesterday is the obvious proof. It may look decentralised and they definitely love to outsource traffic and storage costs by claiming that running your own PDS (Personal Data Server) is somehow something federated, but that’s all smoke and mirrors. You have to go deep on [1] to find “networking through Relays instead of server-to-server” as their current implementation choice. THEY run the relays. No one else.”

            You can run your own relay, though:

            I do prefer Activitypub overall, and it’s certainly more mature, but any efforts towards decentralization should be encouraged/celebrated.
