I wish there was a clear alternative, a sort-of blogger Wikipedia, an activity-pub-compliant platform for #newsletters+#blogs. We need to create synergy and network effects for small bloggers. Ghost and the alternatives don't check all the boxes yet
Been reading up on the #BlueSky hype train. I am really confused.
They claim BlueSky is supposed to be "#open" and "#federated" but then why didn't they just join #Mastodon or contribute to #ActivityPub? Making a new app I can 100% understand but also making a brand new protocol? WHY?
I'm not sure how "open" BlueSky really is (their recent plans to monetize features are very #sus) but either way, BlueSky and its protocol feel like a gigantic Not Invented Here syndrome. 🙄
