Bluesky had some controversy when it first came out. Now that it's been around for a while, I'm curious what the consensus is. How does it compare to Mastodon? Is Bluesky now self-hostable and compatible with the Fediverse?

Mrs. Erinaceus loves it, after fleeing Xwitter and being disappointed with Mastodon. However, in this Wired article/interview (which I read some time ago and might not remember all that well), Bluesky's CEO comes across as being, well, a CEO. Judge for yourself: Bluesky Is Plotting a Total Takeover of the Social Internet.

Jay Graber's background before BlueSky is in Web3 so take that information how you will.

I want her to exploit my means of production so bad, if you know what I mean.

Yeah, I know, I had to keep myself from writing something along those lines as part of my initial comment. Hopefully Mrs. E won't see this, as she has a somewhat fiery temperament and is quick with the rolling pin...
