Bluesky had some controversy when it first came out. Now that it's been around for a while, I'm curious what the consensus is. How does it compare to Mastodon? Is Bluesky now self-hostable and compatible with the Fediverse?

It's just twitter 2.0, may as well be closed source, and it's a joke to call it decentralized. I'm only on there because the community I keep up with is mostly on there, but the site is literally unusable without the blocklist feature, which of its own is incredibly easy to abuse. It was far better when it was almost entirely a leftist space, before the big twitter exodus of liberals.

Mastodon's looking far better on the casual usability front lately so maybe folks will start moving over there soon.
