I don’t know who needs to hear this but…

Federation != Decentralization

If you want proof look at bsky implementation

Mastodon is both federated and decentralized. A community can form in the middle of nowhere without the need to connect to Mastodon.social

That’s not the case in bsky?

@ayo I find this explanation (with diagram) clearer docs.joinmastodon.org/#federat

I'm not exactly sure which one is bsky.

Diagram explaining "What is federation?" with three forms: Centralized (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram), Federated (Email, XMPP, phone networks), and Distributed (BitTorrent, IPFS, Scuttlebutt). Illustrations show the connections and interactions among these forms.

@cheeaun they don’t fit in one of those because they are both centralized and federated. 😅 thing is, there’s just a small section in their docs that says this so it’s quite sneaky in my opinion

“You can self host to federate with the wider bsky social network”
