If you can't tell, my narration style buries the lede quite a bit. So lemme tell you what you can expect up front:

- Some fluffier bits I thought were good framing
- A dive-into-literature analysis of the terminology "decentralization" and "federation" and whether Bluesky is either

(cotd...)

- A defense and analysis of my claim that Bluesky's approach explodes unsustainably ("quadratically") as you try to decentralize it
- "Actually what I'm worried about portable identity isn't what you may think"
- Public content vs community expectations on Bluesky

(cotd ...)

- A comparison of Bluesky, ActivityPub, and @spritely's values and design goals (invited by @bnewbold specifically in his post! good idea)
- Stepping back and concluding: "Where to from here?"

So yeah. That's a lot to get through. Let's get going.

Oh yeah and just like last time I WILL NOT BE READING NOTIFICATIONS until I get through this

Sorry, it's impossible. I'll never get through it otherwise. So see your comments on the other side!

So yes, definitely burying the lede, we are now at "Interesting notes and helpful acknowledgements"

Bear with me, we'll get to the deeper analysis, but this does help frame things I promise

So first of all, @bnewbold was very nice:

> I am so *happy* and grateful that Christine took the time to write up her thoughts and put them out in public. Her writing sheds light on substantive differences between protocols and projects, and raises the bar on analysis in this space.

Aw thx 💜
