"#BlueSky isn't decentralised or federated. The outage yesterday is the obvious proof. It may look decentralised and they definitely love to outsource traffic and storage costs by claiming that running your own PDS (Personal Data Server) is somehow something federated, but that's all smoke and mirrors. You have to go deep on [1] to find "networking through Relays instead of server-to-server" as their current implementation choice. THEY run the relays. No one else."

You can run your own relay, though:

I do prefer Activitypub overall, and it's certainly more mature, but any efforts towards decentralization should be encouraged/celebrated.
