BlueSky the corporate platform that tracks all the links you click, and isn't federated like Mastodon.

So you're saying the sidebar is a lie?

Yes, it's a lie. It doesn't use independent servers that each run their own instance. Instead it uses servers that all go through a single relay and app controlled and operated by BlueSky as a company.

It's decentralized, but not really federated.
