I just received my invite code today and took a quick look around the app. Like Mastodon I do not prefer microblogging platforms. And that's all I know about Bluesky.

So, what can you tell me about this project?

The network is the thing that's controlled by BS, a for-profit company who's CEO is a crypto fan.

    I've already explained how they have designed it so they can't control it. Just use web-DID and your own domain handle on your own PDS, and then you can connect to a 3rd party relay (BGS, the CDN like cache) and whichever feeds and moderation tools and filter subscriptions you like. You don't need to touch the official servers at all.

    The network doesn't use any cryptocurrency technology. There's no blockchain, etc.
