It has an adapter that integrated with the current protocol.

In theory, bluesky can federate with other apps but it is currently the only one using their protocol, bluesky servers can federate with each other and when a new project using atprotocol appears it will probably be able to federate with that

mastodon had their chance during the first exodus but they refused to listen to what twitter users wanted and shot down things like lists, quote tweets, and privacy controls.

Maybe they should stop caring about visibility and engagement and concentrate on participating in, building and y'know enjoying a community?

My experience has been better. User engagement is much higher per follower and the discussions don’t devolve. They’re much more useful and/or interesting. KPIs don’t measure everything.

Guess it's not for you then. I'm having a blast. A lot of my friends are now in it and the last year or so have been great.

And more and more people seem to be moving.

„The content“ is there. Its just the addiction inducing, never ending dopamine that doesnt flow as freely which is great.

If you follow the topics that are most prevalent on the fedi (eg freedom, activism, technology, diversity) you will not run out unless you scroll for many hours a day, which is suggests you find yourself a hobby.

Also, the self fulfilling prophecy of „the fediverse is too small, I go to big platform“ will keep the fediverse small.

Be the change you want to see.

I'm shocked to learn that Reddit is opensource back then.

In its developer’s blog, Bluesky stressed that “guardrails” are still in place. Most significantly, users can only self-host their own accounts for now, and in the next phase, self-hosted servers will initially be limited to 10 accounts each, with rate limits on usage.
