@Hamishcampbell Please (!) If you neither know what Bluesky is from a technical perspective (with closed schema and did ecosystem and nearly no possibility of bridging, are you on the twitter-waiting-list?) then you also might not know what it is from a license perspective, see https://mastodon.online/@mastodonmigration/110273442030673147
When you post on Twitter(1) or Bluesky(2) you grant them a broad perpetual license to use, modify, and sublicense your content. You effectively make them co-owners of your content. They can mine it and monetize it. They can even sell it. When you post on Mastodon(3) most instances take no license at all. That's right, they tell you what they are doing with your content—storing posts and delivering them—but no license.
I don’t think there needs to be a war between protocols. Because this isn’t about profit or shareholders, making numbers go up is not really the important thing. What we are looking for is good methods to be social online.

They all share #4opens #openweb tech, so this is a win.
Where they differ is in the "culture" they come from and push.
#bluesky comes from surveillance capitalism, it's from the #dotcons and has meany of the same assumptions, just "better".
#Nostr comes from the #encryptionists and #bitcoin bro crew and suffers from being from this mess.
#activertypub is #openweb native and comes from the #4opens traditions the whole software world is actually built on.
#KISS
