    I won’t knock BlueSky for trying. I think it will go well to replace Twitter, and run strong for some years. I’m still a bit on the skeptical side, especially until we see the ActivityTracker protocol on a non-BlueSky server in action, that BlueSky won’t be bought out and puppeted by some wealthy group.

      I can see a potential path for it’s downfall.

      1. A competing service starts using AT and starts to get popular.
      2. BS starts losing money and slowly steers AT protocol to be more friendly to themselves and less friendly to competition.
      3. Competition forks AT, fragmenting the communities and the whole thing implodes.
