I recently finished the episode of The Verge's podcast #Decoder with the interview to Bluesky's CEO and it seems a quite interesting project. At the beginning I wasn't looking really into it because of their choice of using a new protocol instead of the existing ActivityPub, but after listening to her and the reasons behind this choice maybe I'll give them a chance.

What do you think? Do you use it alongside with the fediverse?

Yup. PBC is just a slightly different flavor of a standard corporation. Bluesky have investors, they're burning investor money right now, they don't know how to monetize the platform yet, and when those investors come knocking for their ROI it's the same ol enshittification process all over again. No thanks. I don't care if the backend is FOSS as long as it all revolves around a corporation, especially one with the roots of Bluesky. If there grows a viable and open community and ecosystem out of that, completely self-sustaining without the need for the corporation, using the FOSS code (or perhaps preferably a fork of it), then that's a different story and that could be interesting.
