Bluesky was supposed to replace Twitter and turn it into a federated platform. Some details on its creation and exit from Twitter here: https://www.techdirt.co

  But federation is no longer on the table?

    What do you mean? It's federated now.

      Source? From everything I've read, BlueSky made a theoretically federated protocol, pulled millions of users onto its single central instance, then refused to enable federation in any meaningful way, so you're either on the central instance or you're effectively on some other platform that is separate from BlueSky and is shit. (Meanwhile on Mastodon, there are so many instances and no clear center - not even mastodon.social, since I block that one and rarely notice any loss)

        I don't know what you've read, but: https://atproto.com/guides/self-hosting https://atproto.com/guides/self-hosting https://atproto.com/guides/applications https://atproto.com/guides/applications https://github.com/bluesky-social https://github.com/bluesky-social It's all there. Bluesky itself is split into tens of instances and has been since last year. A few people even run their own relays. Your information is very out of date.
