Bluesky looks and functions like Twitter at the outset, but the platform stands out because of what lies under the hood.

I 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.

Theres a group of devs that have been working on a bridge between the protocols I found out about while digging for info about Bluesky.
