Once upon a time, in a galaxy not so far away (this one, in fact), a few internet rebels decided that they were tired of the corporate overlords controlling their online lives. Thus, the fediverse was born — an attempt to wrest control of microblogging services, such as Twitter and its ilk, away from centralized powers and into the hands of the people.

    Fuck Bluesky for breaking interoperability before it even started. There was no reason to not use the open source protocol.

      Why does it seem to be getting more traction than Mastodon? Makes no sense.

        Discoverability on Mastodon is not as good IMO and custom feeds on Bluesky are amazing.

          So, to be clear, Bluesky is not a knee-jerk reaction to Twitter’s enshittification and is actually very good?
