    Even if it doesnt have much impact on activitypub-fedi, I think this is good news for the fediverse in general. X is loosing more and more relevancy and microblogging is more and more happening on federating services.

      I’m having trouble figuring out how bluesky is part of the fediverse at all.

      From my understanding it doesn’t federate with anything.

      It’s like saying a hamburger is really just a cheeseburger…you just need to add cheese.

    Good. Competition is good. If they suceed or fail just means we learn and build a better product.

    It would be interesting to know more about the additional users. The banning of Shitter in Brazil is very much tied to internal politics and AFAIK it might be the Brazilian equivalent to MAGA that is currently mass-migrating to Bluesky.

    If so, this might be a bad thing for them, as they probably don’t want to get perceived as the Brazilian truth.social.

      actually, the opposite. The MAGA types are doing whatever they can to continue sucking on Elon’s balls. It’s journos and normies who are moving to Bluesky.

    Blue sky leads to the same trap Twitter was. A place that will be purchased by some asshole that shits on everyone for money.

      You’ll be shocked to know that bluesky is open source then and PDS is well on its way to allowing you to host your own instance.
