Well, this is an unexpected curveball.

Jack Dorsey hopes that Bluesky will be “temporary”.

How likely is Bluesky to actually be “temporary”?

Everything I see about #Bluesky’s app now makes complete sense.

If this is meant to be a proof of concept, of course Bluesky won’t concentrate on stuff like DMs or lists or text formatting.

Why would they put that kind of work in if this might be temporary?

How can Bluesky be the future when Jack Dorsey says it’s “temporary”?

Maybe AT protocol is the future—but that’s a separate matter from Bluesky.

The app we’re seeing now may not even exist when AT protocol gets rolled out.

If #Bluesky really is just a temporary proof of concept, the Tech Press sure has egg on all their faces.

This means Bluesky isn’t what they believe it to be.

My big conclusion from Jack Dorsey’s thread is that #Bluesky is NOT comparable to Mastodon.

You can’t compare a temporary proof of concept with something that is production-ready right now.

The hint is Bluesky’s website: staging.bsky.app

It’s “staging” for a reason!
