Do you count Bluesky as the Fediverse? Why?

Not really. You're strongly funnelled down the bluesky owned instance, most uses of ATProto are more or less mere plugins for that main instance. Can I migrate my account to another instance? Unclear.
The VC funding also adds another layer that implies they're going to trap people into their monetisable market share sooner or later. This seems incompatible with fediverse principles.
So while they present themselves as a more technically refined iteration of the fediverse, the whole thing is a big trap. Enjoy it while it lasts would be my advice, but if you've got the sway then try to get those close to you to migrate to mastodon before it goes wrong.
