Gregory's Server
@davew @aral Perhaps; there are certainly issues with ActivityPub. But correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears that the BlueSky approach to federation keeps BlueSky as the central authority. While that can simplify some issues, given previous experience with billionaire owners of social media platforms it isn't comforting.
@not2b @davew @aral That's right. It's just decentralized storage. You can store your data on your server, you hold your name through the domain possession, but we (BlueSky) are ultimately in control who you connect with.
It's essentially a centralized platform. If there is something smart about it, then it's how they paint it as decentralized.
