Seems like a fun growth hacking way to grow Bluesky as well. I made an account just to test it out, haha

There is no question that for-profit social network projects will end up as Twitter did. The only question is when.

Ideally, the comment system should be either self-hosted or more fediverse-like. The rest is a temporary compromise that will sink in the sands of time.

I disagree. I think ATProtocol found a pretty good balance for de/centralization. Yes most people are on Bluesky PDSs but the data is easy to backup and move and Mastodon does not improve on that afaik.

Mastodon had their shot and people found it too confusing.

It’s hard for something to succeed when the selling point is “we aren’t that other thing!”

Edit to remove unintended flame bait.

True, but Bluesky really does solve pains that closed platforms can’t/won’t. Having a choice over your algorithm is like getting lead out of your pipes, or getting a bidet or something.

stream.place[1] operates in a similar way but for stream livechats! We haven't even begun to scratch the surface on how Bluesky comments are going to be used, apparently.
