I recently finished the episode of The Verge's podcast #Decoder with the interview to Bluesky's CEO and it seems a quite interesting project. At the beginning I wasn't looking really into it because of their choice of using a new protocol instead of the existing ActivityPub, but after listening to her and the reasons behind this choice maybe I'll give them a chance.

What do you think? Do you use it alongside with the fediverse?

What were the reasons? Is their protocol really better than ActivityPub? Couldn't ActivityPub just adapt to have the same benefits?

    From what she said, ActivityPub could have adapted to what they wanted, but probably don't want to. On Bluesky you kinda loose the community feel of your instance that you have and that many people (me included) like.

    I elaborated more on the "problems" she listed in another comment here if you want to read more without listening the episode
