This is the first time I’m seeing a way to host a full Bluesky network, I think. It seems like a big step towards full federation beyond appviews and personal data servers.

    bluesky is foss and open to federation, why not bluesky? Also a mastodon bluesky bridge is possible because of this as well

      It’s not about the code, it’s about control of the servers and feeds. Decentralization doesn’t just mean multiple servers. It means no single entity has special authority over the user community. That isn’t the case with bluesky from what I can tell.

        You are correct, if you take a step back and consider bluesky wholistically, it is DEFINITELY not decentralized.

      Investors offer money, federation goes bye-bye and you end up with another twitter.
