Bluesky is FOSS

pretty sure it isn't.

marketing
not having to pick the instance when registering
people who have experienced Mastodon's hermetic culture discouraging others from joining
algorithms helping discover people and content to follow
marketing

and I'm saying that as a firm Mastodon user and believer.

Comparison of platforms compatible with Lemmy+Mastodon ? (Mbin, Piefed, FediLab, etc.) in c/[email protected]

Bluesky has gained a million new users in the last three days. in c/[email protected]

are they federated with each other?

no. there's a sort of a third party bridge, but it requires an account on one platform to follow a bot in order to show up on another, so if someone on Bluesky doesn't explicitly do it and you're using Mastodon, then you're not going to connect.

Since they are integrating a web browser in the app

are they, though? I thought they just grab whatever data Invidious API fetches and display it with their method of choice, similar to how mobile clients for Invidious and Piped work. PlasmaTube manages to do similar thing without becoming a single purpose web browser.
