      They also assert that Bluesky doesn’t federate (it currently doesn’t, but the protocol is designed for federation!) when it’s clear that it now does.

      I’m not surprised about the skepticism there though. These are just promises, and we all know that a for-profit entity will happily sacrifice any promies if it means they make more money that way. Also depending on how exactly that federation will work it might be practically useless as well.

          There’s surprisingly little development power behind Bluesky, though, and its recent surge in popularity will no doubt have slowed down nice-to-haves like federation.

          I just looked at their Github, and surprisingly Bluesky seems to have less total commits than Lemmy.

          On the other hand, ATProto solves a lot of problems Mastodon has (no two servers showing the same list of replies, for one)

          This is absolutely solvable with Activitypub, its just that Mastodon developers dont seem to care about it.
