Gerade mal kurz bei BlueSky reingeschaut nach dem Buzz der letzten Wochen. Die Antwort auf meine drängendste Frage, wer nun aktuell die Plattform besitzt und wie es da weitergeht, hat @pluralistic gut zusammengefasst: Es ist aktuell wahrscheinlich in guten Händen, aber das waren viele Plattformen zu Beginn.

»Bluesky lacks the one federated feature that is absolutely necessary for me to trust it: the ability to leave Bluesky and go to another host and continue to talk to the people I've entered into community with there. While there are many independently maintained servers that provide services to Bluesky and its users, there is only one Bluesky server. A federation of multiple servers, each a peer to the other, has been on Bluesky's roadmap for as long as I've been following it, but they haven't (yet) delivered it.

…

So long as Bluesky can be a trap, I won't let myself be tempted. My rule – I don't join a service that I can't leave without switching costs – is my Ulysses Pact, and it's keeping me safe from danger I've sailed into too many times before.«
