Why all the Bluesky hype? I'm OOTL
People want a Twitter replacement because Musk is terrible. This has the legitimacy of tech start up money and Jack Dorsey who started twitter. Those are the main reasons, but it also incorporates federation tech so in theory if it catches on you can migrate servers or incorporate other services. I'm skeptical, and much of what I like about the fediverse is that it isn't just counting the days before they can work towards profitability.
