    “We’re not like the other girls… we’re not owned by a billionaire,”

    Just founded by a billionaire. I guess it’s nice that they’re a public benefit corporation. Those are supposed to be better than regular corps, or am I being naive?

      I really think the blue sky is bad stuff is overdramatic xbox vs PlayStation kind of stuff.

      The fediverse needs a lot of work, blue sky is a different and interesting model that’s different from what we’ve seen so far (even if they haven’t let people start hosting their own blue sky instances).

      I say let them complete…

          Interesting, I missed that they’d opened that up.

          Do you have any good information on how the ATProtocol requires interaction with their servers?

          My quick look at it suggests that everything occurs on the same network (presumably there’s some way to override that) but the servers are independent. So you seemingly can “get to everything” regardless of who your provider is.

        That’s a very apt analogy, in the sense that they’re both shitty proprietary walled-gardens and people should actually be using something entirely different instead.
