https://darnell.tv/2026/01/22/bluesky-w-social/@darnell Yep, I agree that having something outside of Bluesky that can pull people in based on it's own 'brand' is what that ecosystem needs!
Is this it? I dunno.

@BrennpunktUA they have a fork of the Bsky social-app client codebase, and from what it looks like they're still using the Bsky AppView in the backend. That said, their users are on their own PDSes, which is the most important aspect of data ownership for users.
AppViews take time to build, and most new projects start with Bsky's client to get an easy jumpstart to test features out.

@BrennpunktUA @darnell @quillmatiq yeah I actually find this fact fairly positive.
Still not clear to me how serious or likely to succeed they are, but this is actually a good way to start

@BrennpunktUA it's not a 1-1, but this almost akin to someone starting their Mastodon instance with the default Mastodon codebase, then customizing it from there. Everyone starts somewhere!

https://darnell.tv/2026/01/22/bluesky-w-social/@darnell @quillmatiq@mastodon.social @ricci It is Bluesky but with mandatory identity verification.
