I’m a fan of both Nostr and Bluesky. Two great projects, with more or less the same goals of decentralising social media using open protocols, but with different approaches.
Personally I think that one of Bluesky’s strengths over is that it is very easy to use, whilst allowing accounts to be portable. That said it has not yet federated so we shall see how that goes. The problem with Mastodon is that account portability is not easy - it just create lots of smaller walled gardens rather one big one.
As for Threads, it is really no better than Twitter right now, just different. Just because a lot of people signed up to check it out does not mean they will stick with it long term. As long as it relies on the advertising model it will rapidly and inevitably enshittify itself.
I think both Bluesky and Nostr will continue to grow, whatever happens with Theeads.
