I just received my invite code today and took a quick look around the app. Like Mastodon I do not prefer microblogging platforms. And that’s all I know about Bluesky.
So, what can you tell me about this project?

A few podcasts I listen to have switched to calling their bluesky handles out instead of their twitter handles in their outros. I’ll probably install it and delete ex/twitter when I get an invite.
Go with Mastodon. Bluesky is just Twitter but run by crypto fanatics. It’s not decentralized or nonprofit or safeguarded against enshittification.
They’re not cryptocurrency fanatics. None of the project relies on cryptocurrency tech. Even Jack himself deleted his account and ran off to nostr.
Bluesky uses a model with user identities based on cryptographic keypairs, posts held in a personal account repository (git-like), and posts use content addressing (hash ID of posts), and everything is portable so you can move your account between host servers without breaking any references.
Federation is up in the sandbox environment with 3rd party implementations participating.
It’s more robust against enshittification than your average Mastodon server
@pixelpop3 @admin happy to send you an invite if you want one. Especially if it helps you leave the bird site. DM me
The fediverse is way better. Interesting to check out what people are building… at least a bit. I find myself wanting to come back here way more than any of the other options.
