the only thing that can kill Spotify is Spotify. They have a good platform, the best integration with other services/devices, and as long as they don't enshitify there's not much more another service can offer

I wouldn't recommend it either, because it doesn't exist yet. But its extremely disingenuous to make claims about how it will work when/if it begins federating in the future and declare it EEE.

Do you have any sources for that? I've seen no indication they don't intend to release the protocol as a standard and that is a pretty big assumption

There isn't a standard because the protocol/platform doesn't exist yet. "Anyone who wants to connect will be entirely beholden to get the latest published version from Bluesky" is just the definition of a standard. Every standard is maintained by someone. And its also not EEE to make an entirely new system. They are neither embracing nor extending activitypub. They are trying something of their own.

It will be federated, but not with activitypub. It looks like they're developing a more comprehensive system for federation

I'm with you. preemptively defederating feels like shooting ourselves in the foot. It would be great to be able to access content from larger communities on our own terms. If meta starts trying to dictate the rules, sure but as it stands now they don't control activitypub. I think I'm also in the minority that wants to see the fediverse grow into a proper alternative to traditional social media, though.

I've tried most of the apps, none of them really feel right to me unfortunately. Luckily this issue is just a bug with 0.18.0
