It's not even Fediverse either. It's their own protocol. Can't even really federate much either.

They have federation on in their sandbox network with 3rd party clients already working, but it’s not going to talk activitypub
BarrierWithAshes@kbin.social 9 months ago
Non-activitypub federated protocols? Who is even the 3rd party in this instance? Nostr?

Everyone should defederate from bluesky
They don’t use AP, so there is no federation to begin with.
Natanael@slrpnk.net 9 months ago
Yeah and also Gmail should defederate Skype.
… Wait what’s that it’s different protocols? Oh well
uis@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Hahaha, no. It’s like MTProto in Telegram, but without being honest that it’s centralized.
Natanael@slrpnk.net 9 months ago
Every single component have 3rd party implementations or an alternative which doesn’t depend on them (standard account DID lookups go through their servers but web DID is fully independent).
The protocol literally doesn’t allow them to be gatekeepers.

Authentication is heavily tied to their servers
Natanael@slrpnk.net 9 months ago
You can initialize your account with your own DID key using web DID instead of the current (technically placeholder DID) and you won’t be dependent on their servers for authentication. Especially in the federation sandbox that’s available for 3rd parties
