> Compare this to Mastodon (which unlike Bluesky) is just one service in a sea of many others using ActivityPub (Pixelfed, PeerTube, etc) which overall makes for a much more vibrant and promising platform.
The same can be said about the atproto as different apps are being developed for specific users like picture video only feeds and 3p clients for bsky.
> And unlike Bluesky, Mastodon has put federation into action; as an anecdote, even for posts with lots of replies, I've rarely seen more than two people from the same server comment on a given post. The diversity is astounding. Mastodon is already everything everyone wants from Bluesky in this regard.
I'm not sure I get your point. I run my own bsky PDS, and federation is working fine for me and my users. I see plenty of posts from others.
