Once upon a time, in a galaxy not so far away (this one, in fact), a few internet rebels decided that they were tired of the corporate overlords controlling their online lives. Thus, the fediverse was born — an attempt to wrest control of microblogging services, such as Twitter and its ilk, away from centralized powers and into the hands of the people.

I may have missed something: what's the issue with Blue Sky?

[–] [email protected] 34 points 4 months ago (1 children)

doesnt use ActivityPub, so it federates on its own protocol...
is not fully decentralized, in that it requires 'routers' managed by big companies for some core features
