"When writing about #Bluesky, I’ve seen folks mention that it’s either federated or decentralized. I’m here to tell you that it’s currently neither."
@doener Nice article! It did a good job of being just detailed enough about the Bluesky architecture to be informative but approachable. It was also a nice balance of expressing options without unwarranted certainty.
You talked about wanting to see posts from people you follow without reposts. I did want to mention the OnlyPosts feed, which may not be exactly what you want but is in the ballpark.
As far as the decentralization/federation, it sounds like PDSs are pretty easy to self-host, and most of the other stuff could be self-hosted, except maybe the AppView and the DMs. Is that right?
