In a similar vain, I'm curious how Bluesky[0] will pan out. The protocol looks very cool with how much it separates and distributes the different concerns[1] (storage, recommendations, clients, etc.) as opposed to something "federated but fairly monolithic" like Mastodon.

I've been curious about BlueSky too, popping a lot on Twitter lately, but it's hard to secure an invite

  Iirc the waitlist is packed (million or so) and they've only let in 20k so far while they're working on scaling moderation (which is pluggable as well, I think). Some info in the interview by TheVerge[0].

    Lol seems easier to get hired than invited by those numbers, I´ll join the matrix channel and see what´s up there

      I've been on that Matrix, there's like one guy in there who thinks that centralized key rotation is real. I didn't really see anyone else while I was there.

For what it counts, you don't need to deal with Mastodon if you want to use the fediverse. There's plenty of other servers available like Misskey and Pleroma, both of which require far less computer power. The only thing you need on paper is a domain name. Heck - you can even use a WordPress blog since Automattic if you just want to run a blog outbox. Mastodon itself is a rails beast (lending credence to the tendency for the Fediverse to seem fairly monolithic), but that's hardly necessary. There's many other options out there (as much as the lead dev of Mastodon has been on a spree to try and hide this fact lately).

I have invite codes if people want to join, send me an email: sam at elborai me So far it has been very friendly and wholesome, hope that will work out in the long term!
