Bluesky’s “open” BS line is proven BS by them not being federated already, even within their own non-activitypub protocol. This is also by design. Bluesky is what MSNBC was in the 2000’s, an oasis from the now way more rightwing thing they consumed before (CNN/Twitter) that dominated discourse in that era, when war is breaking out and more power is being centralized in the executive while ever more bounds are broken from the state-adjacent private sector. It has a purpose for the bourgeois that consume it, but it’s not like fediverse shit, which is REAL like pre-corporate internet, and has the potential to actually change everything.
