The decentralized social media platform is getting more aggressive with copycats.

    they couldnt anyway, because bluesky wont release the relay code or interact with foreign relays. theres nothing federating or decentralized about it.

    e. i love their answer when you call them out on it… its ‘but our design takes too many resources to federate! but someday, we will release the code!’

      So it’s basically as federated as a fediverse server with federation turned off lmao

        And that’s basically what Truth Social actually is, and no one claims that Trump’s server is federated.

      The relay code is here: https://github.com/bluesky-social/indigo/tree/main/cmd/bigsky

      And according to this you can host everything except “AppView”: https://alice.bsky.sh/post/3laega7icmi2q

      Really? Can you point me to where they have said things along these lines?

      Why are more people not pointing out they say federation is basically impossible, so that’s why they are not doing it…

        From my perspective, plenty of people are pointing it out. One of the authors of activitypub Christine Lemmer-Webber talked about it in depth in a blog post: https://dustycloud.org/blog/how-decentralized-is-bluesky/
