Comment on What Fediverse services do you use?

  It very much is not Fediverse. They use a federated protocol, but not ActivityPub, which is the Fediverse’s protocol. They use AT Protocol instead, and they’re the only thing using ATP, by the way… That should tell you everything about how “federated” they are.

  While there are different servers, there’s a dependence on central nodes. The simple existence of central nodes is antithetical to decentralization… So we’re really not talking about the same thing at all here, with BlueSky vs the Fediverse.

  No, Bluesky is a centralized platform, literally twitter 2.0. The Fediverse’s main selling point is the opposite.

    But there are different servers, similar to Lemmy?

      AT protocol is different than Activity Pub. They do not allow instance control and freedom (you can t really call this federation) , it is not real decentralization if you dont allow users spinning their instances and federate with the rest.
