Yeah I think Mastodon is a more future-proof alternative but the lack of any kind of algorithm and tiny userbase is a big problem.
I'm sure Bluesky will get a bit shittier over time but at least it's not being run into the ground by a megalomaniac like Musk.
Fingers crossed. And yeah, I relate to the lack of algorithm. Really, just a "sort by most boosted+favourited in the last 24h/1w/1m" would be fantastic, no need to promote posts I didn't subscribe to.
What does Bluesky's active user population look like these days?
I do hope bsky works out. If it maintains open access, I expect it'll interoperate with ActivityPub just fine after a while through proxies and gateways. It's not like Facebook or w/e where they'll defend the moat with their lives.
