A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Oh no it'll federate alright.
The thing about ATProto is that unlike AP they don't seem to expect each instance to have it's own community with it's own rules and vibes. They seem to be using federation just as a way to "scale up".
If they can get any non-bluesky-the-company folk to create instances then that's just scaling they don't have to pay for and a convenient legal scapegoat for the inevitable consequences of their lax moderation. Why wouldn't they federate?
Yes. This exactly is their whole business model. There has been a very good article about bluesky around for some time about that fyi.
What I want to know is what kind of soulless person bereft of imagination would create a BS instance when it's essentially just free hosting for a for-profit company.
