Article emphasizes the concept of “middleware”. BlueSky inevitably gets more attention than the “Mastodon protocol” but there are some decent theoretical observations.

    Tells you that you can take your social media back from big tech then casually recommends Bluesky. Gimme a break.

    I generally agree but I still feel it’s important to keep some perspective. Bluesky is not the solution but it’s definitely progress compared to existing corporate platforms (because it has real fundamental differences - several articles posted here went into detail about this).

    IMO the best argument against Bluesky is that it will suck up the oxygen for other, better, solutions. That’s a fair theory but it seems to me that there’s plenty of market share to go round right now. Everyone is still on the evil corporate platforms.

    RSS still exists and it’s still beautiful.

    Agree, I use it every day.
