I consider BlueSky a "Musk-Free" Twitter for most intents and purposes... At least the protocol is a little more transparent and BridgyFed is an effort to make them interoperable.

Yeah I don’t get why people are so judgy towards it here on lemmy.

It’s like a halfway between twitter and mastodon. And whether you like it or not it has a feature (algorithm) which mastodon doesn’t that makes people far more likely to use it.

It’s not as “good” in terms of not being company owned as mastodon. But it’s add-free, open source, and there’s some proto-federation going on. I mean I’m hosting my own instance there. Mostly it’s got far more funding than mastodon which means it’s already becoming feature rich even though it only released to the public a couple months ago, and it’s far less buggy than mastodon.

Hello,

I'm curious, this is a personal PDS, so other people cannot register on it, right?

The current state of Twitter probably makes people here very cautious about anything that might look similar to pre-Musk Twitter without any mechanism preventing such a scenario to happen again.

Oh it’s only for me. I call it an instance but perhaps that isn’t the correct terminology.

No worries, thanks for clarifying!
