What features are there? (Serious) Like, isn't it mostly just make a post (+media?) and catch likes/comments? That's some.

Is it discovery? Algo? Some AI shit?

Higher bit-rate video, faster load times, app stability, and edit functionality (which many people repeatedly request, despite it being arguably low-priority because you can just delete and repost), just to name a few. I'm practically a Bluesky fan, and I again disagree with Steve's characterization, but even I see many things that have room for improvement. Granted, Twitter/X should crush them on this alone and they've arguably leveled the field by making their platform worse over time, so heh.

> React Native means bad mobile UX.

if that's the case, I'd think Bluesky has an advantage. Because there's open API and third-party apps actually works, compaired to very closed nature of X.com

at least I can read posts from public officials without an account on Bsky. representatives and public organizations using sites that require an account & agreement with a third party private Terms and Services just to read their posts should be illegal
