I’ve been reading that BlueSky has reached critical mass and is snowballing well at the moment. I suspect it has drawn people away from the fedi and back into the loving embrace of venture capitalists.

    I’m following bsky’s progress. They have shared things which on a technical standpoint and from a social network empowerment perspective are very interesting. The portability of the profiles and the fully custom moderation layers are particularly noteworthy and seem to go far beyond what I’ve seen in other social networks. Even in mastodon apparently it is not possible to port a profile from one instance to another without losing all your post history (ente.io tried this recently and got caught by this). And for moderation, you have to rely on your instance moderation rather than personalized one. And the annotation part of bsky is also interesting to me.
