minus-squareArghZombies@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·9 months agoI 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.

minus-squareArghZombies@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·9 months agoWell, that’s the whole point of the whole thing. Bluesky is built on the AT Protocol, which will be federated early this year. https://bsky.social/about/blog/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.
