@parigotmanchot @mike @davidbhimself.online I do agree somewhat, but it does have it's own advantages, they just haven't been fully realized yet.
It's still very much in full active development with new things happening all the time.
I was also "why the hell is bluesky a thing when AP exists, they're not even decentralized!" guy until very recently.
I even had a bad interaction with the CEO in which I asked her about the decentralization and she didn't really have a good answer for me.
However, I have recently decided to be more open minded about it and putting them on a "wait and see".
A really good video that helped me understand their goals was Waveform's latest video regarding Fediverse and ATProto/Bluesky. Jay was very clear and informative, contrary to our interaction previously. So much so that I regret she couldn't explain better in our conversation.
Here's that link if you're interested. It's a long video, but it's very good and informative about both AP/Fediverse and ATproto/BlueSky.
