Remember Bluesky?
That's the de-centralized social network backed by Jack Dorsey that's supposed to compete with Mastodon.
Instead of using ActivityPub, it uses the competing AT protocol.
It's on the App Store right now in closed beta, and @Sarahp speculates that a public launch may be nearing.
Thing is, development of Bluesky has been slow as molasses. This was announced all the way back in 2019.
A whole lot has happened since then!
@Chris Trottier @Fediverse News The only advantage #Bluesky will have over 13-year-old federated jack-of-all-trades #Hubzilla that has had #NomadicIdentity since 2012 and even over younger and sleeker #Streams will be the availability of an iPhone app, especially one that bears the same name as the project itself. Hubzilla and Streams can only be used in Web browsers, and especially Hubzilla has a less-than-optimal UI for its overwhelming pile of features.
In all other regards, everything that Mike Macgirvin has made since #RedMatrix (that's seven project names) would mop the floor with Bluesky, not to mention that almost all of it has also supported #ActivityPub and therefore federated with Mastodon; Hubzilla (optionally) and Streams (by default) still do. Bluesky probably never will; it isn't meant to complement the Fediverse, it's meant to replace and destroy it.

#BlueSky is the weirdest name. Sounds like an airline or telecommunication company that serves simcards.
