Bluesky had some controversy when it first came out. Now that it’s been around for a while, I’m curious what the consensus is. How does it compare to Mastodon? Is Bluesky now self-hostable and compatible with the Fediverse?

    It never had a chance. There’s no way to make profit selling ads and user data and have it be decentralized. They are conflicting goals.

    I’m not saying there aren’t other ways to make a profit on a decentralized platform, but they never said they had any other business model, so we had to assume that the traditional one was it, and we were right.
