@jonty this is fiiiine. bluesky is filled with very smart people and therefore they don’t need to participate in open standard groups before they just invent their own!
@jesseplusplus @jonty this is why they’re doing a closed beta, to find and fix these issues.
do you think Mastodon etc never had bugs, even bad ones?
@thomasfuchs @jesseplusplus @jonty Mastodon is open source and is based on open standards that much of the already existing web uses. Bluesky throws all of that out the window for a subpar experience and limited user freedom (I haven't seen their source code anywhere for their clients).
