No elon involved so it has an enormous advantage over Twitter

Thats an advantage so thin it is almost invisible. Its a centralized platform, it could be bought by Elon or shutdown for whatever reason at any second. Being this shortsighted about the future of global communications systems is not a great idea when Trump is about to take office.

That's the same advantage all the other options have, too.

So you are of the opinion that the bluesky devs are currently lying about working to get it federated?

[-] Liz@midwest.social 2 points 1 week ago

I wasn't thinking about that at all, but they probably aren't trying very hard, if I had to guess. What's their current monetization model?

[-] nexguy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Not sure. You can run your own instance right now so they have enabled that but you can't yet federate with the main instance. I believe you can store your own data in your own instance though but I'm not sure.
