Bluesky is a bit off.

Own your readership - what does this mean?

Can be deplatformed - Not once they launch federation, which is very soon.

Control what you see - default view is chronological, like nostr. There are tons of custom algos, complete freedom. Best implementation of custom algorithms on any platform, wish nostr took this route.

Ads - no ads

Multiple clients - I’m aware of at least 4 fully functional Bluesky clients. 3 of them are as polished and feature-rich as the best nostr clients, if not better.

Can be silenced at will - huh? Like, account deleted?

audience relationship meaning your followers stay with you

thanks for the rest. Good to know.

Silenced - meaning someone can moderate away your notes

In regards to being silenced, that’s also an ability that will be up to each individual server once federation happens.

you can also already have non-bluesky usernames using ./well-known or dns entries on your own domain.

Yep! I was one of the very first accounts to have it. I’m there as @evan.best

what does this mean for my chart? ;)

Owning your audience.

You don't need to bob@bluesky you can be bob@bobsdomain so if you move to another at protocol site (once they exist) your audience follows you, not your bluesky account.

It also keeps a history of changes, so you can see what prior handles/domains a DID has used.
