How is you experience using them ? (I know BlueSky is invite only, but perhaps someone got lucky) I registered in Mastodon recently and i’m getting the same feeling(and problems) when started using lemmy.

the custom algorithms feature and usernames is absolutely the killer features of bsky for me… they’re a really amazing idea!
but not using activitypub is unforgivable imo… i’m sure there will be bridges eventually, but… come on; that shouldn’t be necessary… when you’re trying to shift the entire human population to federated networks, you can’t just break out on your own. is it perfect? no… is it a bare minimum spec that allows you to build on it? absolutely!
What if ActivityPub simply couldn’t support some of the federation features they implemented, like using a domain as your handle?
activitypub at its core is incredibly simple afaik… its just a set of defined APIs and that follow ActivityStream schemas
the actual user identifiers we interact with in software aren’t the same as what activitypub uses internally (they’re all URIs so look more like https://<instance>/<path>/<to>/<user>)
it wouldn’t be difficult to use a similar mechanism as they’re using right now to direct a particular domain or subdomain to a user ID: it’s all rewritten anyway!
