Most of the complaints I’ve seen were about Bluesky’s lack of a formal verification system.

They could never figure out how the current system of checking the username.

I switched from lemmy.ml to lemm.ee because I didn’t want to deal with that

The inertia would be way higher if using Bluesky required users to understand what federation is.

It’s not ready for prime time. It’s also not bridged.

Also, Lemmy is not bridged because Bridgy Fed requires users to opt-in by following a certain account, and we can’t do that on Lemmy.

As the growth of Bluesky showed, most users do not care about decentralization as much as they care about usability. In his talk at ATmosphereConf last month, Paul Frazee explained that this is why his team built ATProto instead of using ActivityPub.

What I’d like to see is someone build an ATProto forum like Lemmy, and for it to be fully federated with Lemmy using Bridgy Fed.

EDIT: I know about frontpage.fyi. It does not have communities/subforums, so I would consider it more of a Hacker News replacement.

You vastly overestimating the average person’s willingness to learn new things

The ATProto equivalent of the word “Fediverse” is “Atmosphere.”

And this is why I’m on lemm.ee. Instance rivalries are a waste of time

Knowing what I know about the politics of the .ml admins, this doesn’t make any sense unless it was removed by a community moderator.

How about minding your own business?

Ok so I don’t have to change browsers?
