   I can practically taste @Sarahp's skepticism about Bluesky.

   She thinks that ActivityPub is eating Bluesky's lunch.

     And yeah, @Sarahp has a point. The Fediverse already has lots of high profile folks using the service.

     It's at the point where, if you're in the tech industry, the Fediverse is the place to be.

     There's one thing that Bluesky claims to do better than the Fediverse with its AT protocol, and that's nomadic identity.

     But nomadic identity exists on the Fediverse.

     There are hundreds of Hubzilla and Streams servers that are online. You can use this right now.

     Meanwhile, Bluesky isn't here yet.

     @atomicpoet I agree about the portable identity, but it's very difficult to implement as it will dis-incentivize running your own servers that will lead to massive centralization of the ecosystem.

     I mean, maybe Bluesky will be the kick in the pants for the Fediverse to get more serious about nomadic identity.

     Because I, for one, think people should own their online identities.

     But I have no doubt that the many intelligent people working on identity can make this happen on the Fediverse.

     @atomicpoet
     What even is nomadic identity? It sounds cool as a name
