i think i'm conflating lemmy with bluesky. can't anyone just host an instance? is it open-source? sorry, i should probably just look into this myself.
I think Mastodon is closer to Lemmy as a Twitter alternative over Bluesky.
However, this does a good job explaining the differences:

thanks - you've got it. i forgot about mastadon. ironic, really, since it's the resource that everyone will be scrambling for in a few days. mark my words: something horrible is going to happen this weekend, and it will change your life forever.
What makes you think that? Genuinely curious.
someone cited a snopes article, and i don't think that's what i'm talking about.
april 20 (or thereabouts) has been a pretty infamous date in american terror.
everyone else is talking about it like the government is going to do something. i'm saying the other. or at least it'll look that way.
i'm just some asshole on the internet. i'm just taking all the time i've lived and all the things i've seen, and i'm projecting them forward to the weekend. and your lucky numbers are 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, and 42
Godamnit those are all 6 of my lucky numbers
We have to go back!!!!
Not really much "American terror" on 4-20 except for the columbine massacre.
Don't forget the terrible munchies many Americans are about to get.
holy crap, i did not see those doritos until you said that!
just off the top of my head:
Deepwater was not terror related. It was just an accident of ineptitudes. Waco did not begin or end on 4-20, or was even going on over 4-20.
I did forget about Oklahoma happening on 4-20, though. So like two things in the past 100 years, both over 20 years ago. That's not a pattern at all.
Probably referring to this, but don't know for sure:

Interesting, April 20 is also Hitlers birthday so it has symbolic significance to all the neo nazis.
It's also Easter this year. I'm picturing a stoned Hitler with bunny ears.
Perhaps it would be interesting to chat April 21
we shall meet again under trump's new "marshall law"
Bluesky claims to support federation while being designed to make it entirely impractical and is currently entirely centralized.
My understanding is that it is technically a "federated" standard, but I think there is a lot of technical hurdles to implementing and hosting a compatible server. So no one actually does it, and I'm not sure they'd federate even if someone went through the trouble of getting it up and running.
someone else said something that made me think i'm conflating Bluesky with Mastadon. and apparently "conflating" is my word of the day.
hell yeah i love learning new words
i learned it a while ago, but i just can't stop saying it today.
Claims of Bsky's federatedness and decentralizedness were greatly exaggerated.
