No elon involved so it has an enormous advantage over Twitter

That’s the same advantage all the other options have, too.

So you are of the opinion that the bluesky devs are currently lying about working to get it federated?

Thats an advantage so thin it is almost invisible. Its a centralized platform, it could be bought by Elon or shutdown for whatever reason at any second. Being this shortsighted about the future of global communications systems is not a great idea when Trump is about to take office.
