Bluesky opens to the public today and is taking a step toward federation. I talked with CEO Jay Graber about how it’s taking on the company that spawned it—and how its approach differs from Mastodon’s. washingtonpost.com/technology/

@willoremus
The whole argument she has reagarding Mastodon is to many servers?
And no valide point, why anyone should implement the properitary AT protocol instead of the W3C certified ActivityPub standard.

@willoremus such a relief not to have those unused invites staring at me from the corner

@willoremus

I appreciate you and your work (have for a long time) ... And I fully understand it's your job to report on this stuff ....

So please understand that I mean zero offense when I say "fuck Dorsey."

The man epitomizes "wolf in sheep's clothing." Just as I wouldn't take cookies from "grandma" with such "big teeth," I also won't accept any tech Dorsey had a hand in creating.

Fool me once ... etc.

@willoremus The approach is "different than Mastodon's" in that it's not actually decentralized. Remember: Jay Graber comes from the world of cryptocurrency.
