    It sort of sounds like they’re trying to “have their cake and eat it too.” It will be interesting to see where things go with it. I hope they choose to be more open with federating instead of trying to become Centralized Twitter 2.0.

      Agreed – I will say, being able to host your own data is already a huge step away from traditional social media, so I’m not shitting on Bluesky by any means

        Yeah, it at least solves the problem of your account getting deleted not meaning you lose your stuff. For better or worse people use social media platforms (mostly things like Facebook) as cloud storage for photo albums.
