    ActivityPub is a federated social networking technology popularized by Mastodon.

    Maybe if mastodon is the first thing one heard about. There are many websites built on top of AP: link aggregators, imageboards, photo sharing platforms, and they can all talk to each other, so with one AP account you can access many different services and platforms. With a BlueSky account you can only access the BlueSky ecosystem.

    Again, how are "user-developed" algorithms different from joining the instances you want and following the people you want? As far as I know, you don't even need to add a whole instance, but you can just follow a person on another instance. BlueSky solves a problem that doesn't exist.

    What sets bluesky apart from Mastodon or Pleroma? It looks exactly the same as twitter/X. Did we really need another microblogging platform?
