If anyone has a BlueSky invite, feel free to DM me. Elon Musk is making Twitter worse and he is limiting how many tweets people can view.

    I just recently heard of BlueSky. How is it different from Mastodon? Does it promise to improve on ActivityPub in some way?

      It is releasing its own federated protocol, seems like it does a lot more than activitypub. Your account identity is valid on any instance, for example

      BlueSky is a private social media app and a direct competitor to Twitter. It was created by Jack Dorsey, formerly of Twitter, who encouraged and endorsed Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter. (Maybe this was a brilliant double cross.) I think the one difference between Twitter and BlueSky is users of BS (ha, I wonder if they thought of this abbreviation when they named their app) can edit the algorithm on BlueSky.
