Feedback: the homepage looks more like a tech product pitch site, and the announcement post also doesn't look very polished. I guess the target for Bluesky isn't so much the "regular Facebook/Twitter/IG user", more the nerd.
Side question: what's the interop story between Bluesky and Mastodon now?

why do we say dupe on orange site? this is like the most trivial inconsequential thing to call out, let this be duped. This is going to be news to someone . to add some more substance to my comment this is how I see Bluesky's virality/stickiness playing out: everyone's going to move to it, it's going to be an unofficial but incompatible "fediverse2", folks will pretend the actual Fediverse doesn't exist, and then the…

We've had the federation sandbox running for over six months but we're now able to commit to open federation on the production network this month as well. There's also stackable moderation coming shortly, which enables other individuals/orgs to operate moderation labeling services that users can choose to use.
The technical challenges of setting up an (efficiently) scalable decentralized social network were quite interesting.

If anyone has questions, technical or otherwise, some of the team should be around today to answer them.
Edit: HN'ers might also appreciate this paper written primarily by Martin Kleppman about Bluesky and AT Protocol

We say dupe so a moderator can combine the listings into one and merge the conversations. The original submission is 40mins older, don't worry the people will still see the news.

by Jack Dorsey (he co-founded Twitter)
Jack directed Twitter to fund Bluesky when he was CEO of Twitter, but Jay Graber is the CEO of Bluesky and the technology & app was created by Jay and her team (which I'm a part of).
Is he not involved in it anymore?
