#Bluesky introduces distinct features in federated social networking, diverging from Mastodon's model.
Key differences include global conversation access regardless of server, composable moderation tools, over 40,000 algorithmic feeds for a tailored timeline, and seamless account portability. These innovations aim to enhance user experience and engagement across the network. https://bsky.social/about/blog/02-22-2024-open-social-web#pds
As of Feb 2024, the AT Protocol's federation capabilities have expanded for self-hosters, including federated domain handles, feed generators, relays, app views, and PDS hosting. Work continues on federated moderation and extending federation to large service providers. #ATProtocol#FederationUpdate https://github.com/bluesky-social/pds?tab=readme-ov-file
Bluesky announces early access federation for self-hosters.
The initiative allows for broader connectivity within the #atproto network, enhancing the flexibility and scalability of personal data hosting. Key features include simplified #PDS setup, rate-limited data routing to maintain network integrity, and promising steps towards account migration capabilities. #Bluesky#OpenNetwork https://docs.bsky.app/blog/self-host-federation
In the long term, #atprotocol seems to me to be the better concept, even if #Bluesky's business model is not yet clear (so we'll talk about it again in a year's time). #Activitypub needs to follow suit and separate data pods from the #Mastodon servers to make moving to another instance easier than it is now (maybe like this https://activitypods.org).
What do you think? 🤔
@HxxxKxxx it's not a better concept. If you really aim for a truly decentralized network. In case of AP there is no centralized authority which controls who can talk to who. With AP/Bluesky there is. Bluesky is only decentralized in the storage. It's like WhatsApp. You can have all your data on your device, you can move it to another one, you can change your username, but you ultimately rely on one authority for any communication.
