Not really federated so far, right? They talk a lot about being open, but (when) will they be really? Can I sign up for an account that intereacts with Bluesky through any other provider?
I mean, I signed up, it seems interesting enough. If nothing else it has some recognizable accounts to follow, better network effect than Mastodon.
I don’t follow it very closely, but as far as I know, they are the only one implementing the open protocol they designed (which doesn’t interoperate with ActivityPub). But there seems to be some efforts on creating a bridge: https://www.docs.bsky.app/blog/feature-bridgyfed
As you said, there are some recognizable faces and that may impact the adoption. But not being compatible with ActivityPub is a real bummer.
Sounds like they are saying (later this month) you can create your own Bluesky instance…but will they ever federate outside that?
According to a random employee on hacker news, later this month they will have open federation https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39274882
As always, caveat lector.
There is some federation, however most instances that I’ve seen are people’s personal instances because in the past you’ve still needed a bluesky invite to federate with the main instance. Now that you don’t need an invite anymore I’m sure that’ll change and you’ll see more public 3rd party instances popping up.
And once he has the numbers he will just sell it again
Probably true, though the protocol is open source and can federate, so potentially has a lower blast radius next time as people can just bail to other ATProto servers.
I feel like the hype already died down quite some time ago. I know a few people who made an account, but this is the first time I heard the site mentioned this year. Same with Threads.
This might have been interesting a few months ago, when they were getting the kind of free publicity that CEOs would kill for. Now that the momentum is gone, though, nobody cares. They took WAY too long to get their shit together.
Fuck billionaires. Mastodon never had limited sign-ups because you’re not a product on it.
FOSS life!
Uhhhh manay servers have had and do have limited sign-ups
Yay, a “good” guy with a company will stop a bad guy with a company!
All hail Jack!
It would be better for them to use Activity hub or at least hook into it. Leverage Mastodon/other services.
That’s the MSN butterfly…

I guess I can delete the invite I never used.
Oh this remembered me of that I do have an account since last year and just used it to argue with some fan boys about if Bluesky is full FOSS or not (it’s not)
joined awhile ago, I found the lack of hashtags frustrating - it limited discoverability, unlike on Mastodon where I just follow dozens of hashtags
Wow I assumed that anyone could sign up from the beginning, but anything like Twitter couldn’t interest me less so I never looked into it

Quick, everyone go to the new hype Nazi bar! (Well, not so hype anymore)
Requires a phone number to sign up. No thanks.
Just curious, why is that a deal breaker? It seems like a mild form of anti spam protection, potential 2fa backup, and a way to uniquely identify users.
It requires personally identifying information to login. That’s a hard pass for menu people.
What about non-menu people
They’re just going to order whatever they like anyways.
Hopefully they won’t have to provide a phone number to the restaurant
