Bluesky is and will always be the only atproto using instance, because there's no open source involvement, running an instance is prohibitively hard and expensive. They run under the pretense of open standards, but are pretty much the only ones with the scale needed to run it.

Meta can put more developers on ActivityPub today than the combined open source projects,all together. They will control AP, the same way Google controls the WHATWG
