Can anyone explain why Bluesky is making a new protocol instead of using ActivityPub like Mastodon? What advantages would it have over ActivityPub? https://activitypub.rocks/ Worth noting that ActivityPub is an official W3C recommended standard.

Is it just Not Invented Here syndrome? This could lead to https://xkcd.com/927/

Not me, but only because you saved me a click. "Go to the comments first", FTW. :-) (Though I might still waste that saved click just to see what TFA is about...)

Clicked on the link looking for a blast from the past, came away bewildered.

So they can be the center of it and control it, of course.

Seems very similar in goal to the Solid Project, https://solidproject.org, which Tim Berners Lee is involved with and is being standardized by the W3C.

How could one "control" a federation protocol though?

I remember feeling like a magician when I first learned about AT commands. It was my first real experience getting the computer to do something physical. After that, I learned about all the IO accessible on the parallel port, allowing full binary access to the real world. I was hooked, and it eventually led to a career of making computers do physical things. :)
