MODERATORS
Bluesky is twitter. All the issues we have with X now are bound to happen with bluesky when it gets relevant.
The fediverse is the only viable alternative.
Bluesky is part of the fediverse. Isn't it?
Your knowledge is wrong. They opened up federation in February. There’s currently people from fedi that have Atproto PDS
Do you have any links? I was unable to find any. Also if you don't mind, what is the benefit to running one's own BlueSky instance when instance owners don't control the moderation?
People would run their own PDS for a couple of reasons, build their own communities, host their own data, their own moderation practices & policies, and maybe they don’t want the “big world” view

I meant links to instances not owned by the main company. Are there any?
Can you give a more detailed explanation why Activitypup is garbage? And why AT should be any better?
Some people don't like ActivityPub because it allows mods/admins to remove their content. If you are the sort of person who believes that a moderator moderating content is "censorship" then the AT protocol is a lot more appealing.
ActivityPub is not garbage, it’s just missing important aspects. Atproto is good that users get a global view, identity isn’t tethered to a PDS, custom feeds and not at the whims of an admin that can sever any relationships they have or that can delete their account.
