    I swear, we’re just witnessing the next power-grab by people richer than us.

    Anyone who isn’t advocating for Mastodon, the federated option, is either a fool or being fooled.

        So is twitter and all the other clones.

        That’s still not an excuse to go with the centralized option when centralization is what put people in this position.

      ATP is also federated, and the model is much more scalable than ActivityPub. You’re already free to host all of your Bluesky account and all your posts on your own PDS. They’re opening up the other services to federation as they reach maturity.

        How so?

        They’re opening up the other services to federation as they reach maturity.

        Why are they waiting? Why should we trust them?
