Right, for people making up stuff about Bluesky.

We have custom feeds - they can be coded, or there are 3rd party tools to make them, no coding required.

Your PDS (personal data server) can be hosted yourself, and you can migrate to it. This means if you post something ILLEGAL Bluesky will cut off access to THEIR AppView & Relays, but they can't remove your data entirely, which means you can bring your identity with you to another ATProto based app. Right now, we might not see many, but that's because Bluesky is building it out.

And the idea is, the web could be as it is now, with webapps, but you login with your ATProto identity, so from the normal user's perspective, nothing is different. In fact, it's an easier learning curve than Nostr is for most.

And for those calling it centralised, yes it is. It is centralised. But it's all open source, and Bluesky is building out the Protocol layer aswell as the Product (Bluesky itself). They are already in talks with standardising parts of the protocol, so that they don't own it anymore. The web can be the same, but your data comes with you. If Bluesky shuts down, some other app could reappear which uses the same data structure in your PDS to read/write posts. This means you can bring it around with you.

This is a good podcast/stream that happened yesterday with Dan Abramov, a developer at Bluesky: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5WVK7KfTAk
