I do like Bluesky's take on identity in particular. Mastodon is pretty catastrophic in the way that identity works, and AT proto offers some really compelling ideas here. That said, I don't know. I desperately hope for Bluesky to succeed, because some of the ideas would be great in an ideal world where they've got it all figured out, but I hope that the resources necessary to run relays winds up being a lot less than its made out to be. Otherwise, if it really does require massive amounts of resources, I just can't see anyone choosing to do this. For Japan, I think it is much more likely they would pour resources into domestic SNS services like Misskey.io, as Skeb, Inc recently did.
