Micro.blog is, as the name suggests, a place to write tiny blog posts. It's also known for being a part of, and supporting the indieweb. To some, seeing it support a Twitter-associated decentralized  service such as Bluesky might seem like a betrayal. Hence the need for an explanation. Manton Reece writes, "While Mastodon and ActivityPub have most of the attention, I'm not entirely sure how this next generation of open protocols is going to shake out. I like how Bluesky is focused on domain names and data portability, principles that are shared by the IndieWeb and Micro.blog."
