I wouldn’t recommend it either, because it doesn’t exist yet. But its extremely disingenuous to make claims about how it will work when/if it begins federating in the future and declare it EEE.

Do you have any sources for that? I’ve seen no indication they don’t intend to release the protocol as a standard and that is a pretty big assumption

There isn’t a standard because the protocol/platform doesn’t exist yet. “Anyone who wants to connect will be entirely beholden to get the latest published version from Bluesky” is just the definition of a standard. Every standard is maintained by someone. And its also not EEE to make an entirely new system. They are neither embracing nor extending activitypub. They are trying something of their own.

What do you mean it’s not intended to be an open protocol? There is no other reason for it to exist

Been using this for a few days now, extremely useful, much better than searching all over like I was before lol. Thanks for your work!

It is releasing its own federated protocol, seems like it does a lot more than activitypub. Your account identity is valid on any instance, for example
