    Bluesky is a for-profit company. There’s zero precedence of a for-profit developing an open protocol AFAIK. I’d love to be proven wrong but I’m not optimistic to say the least.

      I’m sure there are, a lot of the internet developed that way.

      TBH I don’t know much about Bluesky, except that it’s a Twitter one with it’s own federation protocol, and I don’t get what the value of any project adopting their protocol over activity pub is.
