Bluesky is a VC funded platform, so they have the resources to build that elegance.
You can’t compare Bluesky to Nostr (platform vs protocol).
In the nostrverse we don’t have that (funding) and ...
In comparing Bluesky to Nostr I'm specifically comparing the client/app/FE, as I said.
Bluesky, more proper, is (in AT Protocol terms) a whole platform: client/app, app view, firehoses, relays, PDSs, etc.. —All the moving parts that makes AT Protocol so incoherent and difficult to truly decentralize with self-hosting and independent providers (the only really viable self-hosting right now are PDSs, but +90% of users will never do this; There exist a couple alternative app-views, but nobody fully hosting out a complete AT Protocol platform as Bluesky is).
But, specifically, I'm referring to Bluesky as the client/app/web FE when I discuss it here. Their client experience and onboarding is beautiful and straightforward. Very palatable for new users.
