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?

I'm not saying I'm very knowledgeable but as your asking for the consensus. I think Bluesky is much better than twitter but it doesn't properly embody the ideals of the fediverse: that is a decentralized network of instances but it really only has one main instance. It's also heavily viewed as an alternative to twitter, people who like twitter but don't like X or the way elon musk is running things so the same people who don't like twitter go to X and therefore the community isn't so much better.

But who am I to say this I don't even use twitter mastadon or Bluesky.
