BlueSky was created by Jack, and he could have picked ActivityPub, but he didn't.

You know why most fedi developers have such a distaste for BlueSky?

Oh right, it's because Jack saw a need for monetization that couldn't work without a centralized infra.

Then he abandoned BS.

As much as you may think the SWF wants to bring ads to your fedi feed, I'm pretty sure you'll see ads on BlueSky first.

But the real ones will keep building, where it matters.

@dansup nothing wrong with ads

@dansup I was really hoping that Jack would use ActivityPub at the time, and disappointed when he didn’t. It felt like such a big missed opportunity.

@dansup but activitypub/mastodon is not fully functional at least yet, for example github.com/mastodon/mastodon/i

@dansup No need for the SWF to bring ads to fedi, ads are already here in Misskey software, which supports admin-configured ads. You can see these ads on misskey.io, the flagship deployment of this software.

Pick on something else if you wanna try unfairly maligning BlueSky to make the fedi ecosystem look good.
