Maybe Bluesky has “won”
Note
choice is good.
you don't even need (or want) a winner.
especially when you have RSS feeds! (which bluesky and mastodon natively support).
slef hosting a bluesky PDS won't ever match that of self hosting mastodon, but that likely isn't the goal. and they both have incredible challenges ahead to stay relevant and out of hands of centralized as dollar driven control.
as for the article itself, I especially liked learning about merkle trees.

Summary
November has sucked so far. One upside of the terrible nonsense is that more people are fleeing X. Many are choosing Bluesky. I’ve seen a bunch of takes about this recently, but I keep seeing things I disagree with. I figure that’s a good enough excuse to write more about this weird-assed social network.
