No, and it doesnt federate even though they promised that a long time ago. Unless they do, they will inevitably also go to shit, there is no way around the enshittification pipeline. Just stick to mastodon and invest in a long term future.

For a slightly more detailed explanation: https://pluralistic.net/2024/11/02/ulysses-pact/#tie-yourself-to-a-federated-mast

No elon involved so it has an enormous advantage over Twitter

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?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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 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.
