I won't knock BlueSky for trying. I think it will go well to replace Twitter, and run strong for some years. I'm still a bit on the skeptical side, especially until we see the ActivityTracker protocol on a non-BlueSky server in action, that BlueSky won't be bought out and puppeted by some wealthy group.
I can see a potential path for it's downfall.
That is also part of people's worry if one instance gets way too big on Lemmy, Mastodon etc. There is potential to change their federation scheme, closing themselves off from outside servers through unique features made incompatible to federate, eventually returning to a centralized model of its own.
