Cool people use ActivityPub.

Single vendor owned & controlled standards always turn out badly, just a question when.

Actually, it is possible to join Bluesky without relying on the single point of failure, as Cory Doctorow highlighted here: https://pluralistic.net/2026/03/05/executive-dysfunction/

The single point of failure is always the biggest instances or communities, which impose their rules on everyone else under threat of refusing to communicate with them.

This has happened with every single federated platform, and it can’t be solved with technology because it’s fundamentally not a technology problem. People want to be where other people are, so once the community reaches a critical mass it inevitably degrades into the same sump of mediocrities and their rules as everything else.
