    Blue sky has an owner and investors, right?

    Publicly funded organizations should be required to use open solutions.

    If they want to also replicate what they post somewhere open to BlueSky and Xitter, and Facebook, so be it.

    That said, I could see carving out an exception for BlueSky if it provides the full open stack (public unauthenticated HTML, RSS, federation, etc ), and only while it does so.

      A lot of people and outlets have said Bluesky is open source, which is actually false. Only the frontend is open source. That being said, they do use the AT Protocol which is still experimental, but seems like less of a mess than Activitypub.
