I also tried BlueSky and here are some quick takeaways:
- The app sucks and the experience is terrible. It's like using an older, jankier version of Twitter.
- It's dead. It's an empty, dead network with very little going on.
- It's not decentralized. BlueSky can claim to be decentralized all it wants, but, at present, it's one single centralized instance with no federation to any remote servers using the protocol.

Page 1 of the bluesky paper is a riot already. Aside from mentioning the "instance question", the big goal with Bluesky is you guessed it, censorship. This is why it's on the first fucking page. This is what sets it apart from the fedi, your ability to say words and post art will be determined by that of a 400lb moderator who half the time doesn't do his job.

If you have your own website, do the following:
Add content, lots of it
Make a web button share your buttons with your friends

with e621 janitors being e621 janitors again, I'm going to make a shirt to celebrate/parody this and put it on redbubble soon (after making my own and maybe wearing it to a furry meet).

there's nothing wrong in valuing your material possessions more than someone else's life

Take note @alex

So why is ActivityPub bad? Why does it have to go? Well put it this way, it all comes down to one thing: posting careers.

Just like how a moderator bought SomethingAwful to keep the posting careers of the users there alive (literally somethingawful.com now takes you right to the forums and not the old comedy site LowT built that drew people to the forums unless you click it), Mastodon/Twitter users love their posting careers. It's why having your entire posting career being nuked upon a ban is such an effective punishment, as opposed to forums which would just cross your name out. And right now, if a Mastodon server goes down you can transfer many of your followers, but your posting career of tweets that won't age poorly at all is gone.

But hey. At least there's bsky with extra censorship to fight "misinfo". This is why the network protocol of bsky is so complicated, censorship has to be baked into the protocol.
