bluesky feels weirdly ahead of and behind farcaster in different ways. at any rate, this was an interesting read and felt like a similar post could be written about farcaster (although I strongly doubt dan would get an opening description like)

I am also highly skeptical of the "blue sky is for everyone" claim.

culture is not what you say in a blog post, it's the collective sum of the actions and beliefs of the early members of the community. and I have heard almost no one say that bluesky is a welcoming place for everyone.

1. NYTimes and Wired have both given glowing coverage to Bluesky & Jay Graber especially. Not that she doesn't deserve it, but the quid-pro-quo seems to be coming full circle here. Interestingly, Nilay Patel at The Verge leaned more into Threads thinking Zuck would be the anti-Musk, and he was for a hot minute, until Trump got elected and then Zuck lined up to kiss the ring. Nilay ended up getting a Bluesky account even later than I did. As a result, even though he's 99% ideologically aligned with Bluesky values, he's not included as a launch partner. Maybe it wouldn't have happened anyway, but it pays to be early.

Backstory here is that Bluesky is basically kingmaking NYT & WIRED as Bluecheck Anointers, in return for glowing press coverage: https://warpcast.com/dfern.eth/0xe9304102

Re: how are they ahead & behind. They are ahead on ATProto (Lexicons & PDSes) and behind on decentralized identity & creator/app economy.

Fwiw I think Dan might but it’d probably be a walk and talk
