Neat, I have an account on there already.

Proof that people rarely know much about anything outside of their field. They'll just be playing this song and dance again when the Bluesky owner cashes in.

If/when that happens, its still better than giving twitter any traffic.

There is at least some (admittedly subpar) federation possible. So if the need is great enough, someone may take up the challenge.

From what I understand, Bsky didn't actually provide much (if any) OSS code to create the federated apps, just the protocol. So there would need to be tons of work done to create it. Some people were (rightly) pointing out that time might be better spent improving existing solutions like Mastodon, rather than freely providing more value to a for-profit company.
