I’ve found the BlueSky team to be very purposeful. It’s not run or owned by Jack, it’s not Jack’s thing, although he is on the board (it’s a Public Benefit Corporation in the US).
Jay Graber is the CEO & founder who fought for it to be independent of Twitter & calling it Jack’s thing erases her. It’s not great.
It’s another open protocol that makes different trade offs than ActivityPub.
I wrote more about the protocol and open source code earlier https://cosocial.ca/@boris/110149727703071833
@boris I wrote about it last month. I think it's at best a spoiler for the fediverse -- potentially eating up some of our momentum.
I hope they get smart and support ActivityPub instead of wasting people's energy and time with an incompatible snowflake protocol.
