They are all trying different ways of solving issues of existing platforms. Seems the main points content moderation and discovery, but you then get to things like identity, account migration, etc.
Check out jay’s (ceo of bluesky) posts on composable moderation and algorithmic choice.

- BulgarianIdiot 3y agoThose are interesting reads, thanks. But I'm noticing social media runners keep making the same mistake again, and again, and again, and again. We don't need to tag moderated behaviors. We don't need algorithms for feed generation. We need social media which doesn't decide for us, or tries to model itself after our supposed "engagement" and needs and wants. We need social media that allows ourselves to be the algorithm. AI has a bright future, but the human brain remains the best evaluator of what a human wants or needs. AI is optimizing for criteria which doesn't match what a person wants. Reacting to posts doesn't mean the person wanted to see them at all. All those algorithms are laughable at close inspection, at best they optimize for profit through dopamine traps & creating friction of controversy and echo chambers, under the guise of having to select for the user as the user can't select for themselves.
