How can Bluesky be the future when Jack Dorsey says it’s “temporary”?

Maybe AT protocol is the future—but that’s a separate matter from Bluesky.

The app we’re seeing now may not even exist when AT protocol gets rolled out.

Everything I see about #Bluesky’s app now makes complete sense.

If this is meant to be a proof of concept, of course Bluesky won’t concentrate on stuff like DMs or lists or text formatting.

Why would they put that kind of work in if this might be temporary?

I am always optimist and positive until clear signs of concern are presented to me.

Had you been nurtured in the fast paced environment of the tech startups, and even led them for years, you would not stand the slow pace of #OpenSource open management.

So, if you want to make a big contribution to the descentralised social media protocol, you are most likely to run your own show (like #AT) and then release it to the community than trying to forever negotiate compromises with the #AtivityPub folks. It will just come natural to you.

This could well be Jack Dorsey's scenario.

Hoping for the best. 🤞

@atomicpoet@mastodon.social Can we really trust him though? Or is he just saying whatever people wants to hear?

My big conclusion from Jack Dorsey’s thread is that #Bluesky is NOT comparable to Mastodon.

You can’t compare a temporary proof of concept with something that is production-ready right now.

The hint is Bluesky’s website: staging.bsky.app

It’s “staging” for a reason!

All those clout-chasing “influencers” on #Bluesky will look ridiculous if the app ceases to exist, and they’re forced to set up their own PDS on a Raspberry Pi.

I’m not saying this will happen, but it will be funny if it does.

Hmm that is a very fascinating idea, a social media where you are gated behind having to setup a server, something that doesn't take more than a couple of hours and googling at most to learn.
