Bluesky follows a model they're more familiar and therefore more comfortable with, even if its the same model that got them where they are in the first place. Bluesky's federation protocol doesnt matter so much as the fact that Bluesky is a singular silo that all Bluesky users can see all content and other users in does. Bluesky self-hosted sites will be a 'nice addition' that most users won't have to care or think about.
I love lemmy and fediverse stuff, but even I am stressed out at the idea of having to make sure I have some kind of replication across different instances, having to keep track of who federates (or doesn't) with who, and always wondering if my home instance is "the right one."
this initiative might prove as successful as Firefox.
Ah yes, the unsuccessful web browser that took down IE monopoly all on its own.
I have a strong dislike for Websites where the first thing I see is a big "Donate Now"-Button.
"No longer"?
You just now realize this?
I been on the Fediverse around 2-3 years(closer to 3)
and, even still am trying out Fediverse platforms I hadn't got into as much as others. Such as Pixelfed.
Why would we let another corporation take control? Recovers is where it's at.
