It became the only reliable source of information I had. People posted links with a minimal amount of commentary, picking and choosing the best content from other social media networks. They’re not doing it to “build a brand” because that’s not a thing in the Fediverse. It’s too disjointed to be a place to build a newsletter subscription base.

All software BlueSky uses is open source and self-hostable and already a bunch of different implementations have started to pop up independently.

Oh that's cool. So where can I sign up to interact with BlueSky users if I don't want to sign up to BlueSky?

Here is eurosky: https://portal.eurosky.tech/
Here is blacksky: https://blacksky.app/
Here is bookhive (a lot smaller): https://bookhive.social/

I found all of them by looking through the PDS index: https://atproto.at/pdses and selecting ones with enough users to signify open registration.

Here is a guide to self-hosting: https://atproto.com/guides/self-hosting#pds

All of these are links to PDS servers. These are the servers that contain all of your data. You can log into any ATProto apps using these accounts.
