Why does this constantly come up as some kind of gotcha? The protocol is under active development, and Bluesky serves as a reference implementation.

  It comes up because right now Bluesky functions exactly like a worse Twitter (also centralized). It has to be better somehow, and the whole selling point is decentralization to sidestep the possibility of recreating the current Twitter fiasco. That goal is not yet achieved, which means it's below parity.

    Bluesky doesn't function at all, it's not public yet, over and over again the people working on it repeat this fact.

      Bluesky is absolutely public, I and thousands of others have accounts and are using it presently.

        I've had an account for months. It is not "public", it's in private beta.
