Bluesky seems interesting, I tried it a couple of years ago but couldn’t find anything worthwhile, probably because most people weren’t there. But I kind of hate the idea of federation, because you can’t delete anything if it’s already on other instances. Don’t get me wrong, federation is cool for control, but like I said, it’s not so good for privacy. That’s why I avoid creating an account and interacting with others on Mastodon, etc.

As Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg continue to reshape the social media space, a group of international tech entrepreneurs and advocates has launched a campaign to protect social media from the control and influence of billionaires.

The initiative, Free Our Feeds, aims to protect Bluesky’s underlying technology, the AT Protocol, and leverage it to create an open social media ecosystem that can’t be controlled by a single person or company, including Bluesky itself.

The goal of the initiative is to establish a public-interest foundation that would fund the creation of new interoperable social networks that can run on the AT Protocol, and build independent infrastructure to support these new platforms, even if Bluesky were to end up in the hands of billionaires.
