"The truth of the matter is: Bluesky controls users' keys, and therefore even if users "move away" they must trust Bluesky to perform this move on their behalf. And even if Bluesky delegates authority to that user to control their identity information in the future, there is still a problem in that Bluesky will always have control over that user's key, and thus their identity future.

To be fair to the BlueSky team, a lot of the features Christine is point out their system and its protocol don't really have, are things the fediverse doesn't have either. At least not in the current usage of ActivityPub. Which is what we'd need to talk about to make a fair comparison to Christine's analysis of ATProto.
I guess the difference might be that we don't promote the verse as having these things inherently. We try to be clear about what's current and what's in R&D. I think?

"Blaine Cook said that the correct version of ActivityPub and the correct version of ATProto are "the same picture" at one point. This is true insofar as I believe addressing the serious issues of both converges on a shared direction"

Hmm. Intriguing. Christine goes on to explain some ways each one could evolve, and how that would make them more similar.
It seems very much RSS and Atom all over again.

You know how people say things like, 'that's an hour I'll never get back'? How do you say exactly the opposite of that?
I got massive informational value for the time I gave to reading Christine's article, as well as getting to bask in some refreshing self-awareness and emotional intelligence along the way.
Great stuff, would go again : P
