This is the first time I'm seeing a way to host a full Bluesky network, I think. It seems like a big step towards full federation beyond appviews and personal data servers.

By that logic we should also connect up with facebook and 4chan, not to mention twitter itself. bsky is just another one of those platforms from what I can tell. It is fairly new so not yet blatantly evil, but give it time. We here are supposed to know better.

By that logic we should be happy gazing at our own navels, shouting to the void, looking at empty pages.

Navels, but federated!

bluesky is foss and open to federation, why not bluesky? Also a mastodon bluesky bridge is possible because of this as well

It's not about the code, it's about control of the servers and feeds. Decentralization doesn't just mean multiple servers. It means no single entity has special authority over the user community. That isn't the case with bluesky from what I can tell.

You are correct, if you take a step back and consider bluesky wholistically, it is DEFINITELY not decentralized.

Investors offer money, federation goes bye-bye and you end up with another twitter.
