    Has bluesky actually federated yet? Happy to follow from Mastodon but I’m not joining another corporate social media (is this the right term? You know what I mean)

      @along_the_road @QuantumEyetanglement Bluesky is partially decentralized. You can setup your own PDS (the server where your data is stored). There are two central parts: The directory of all DID (comparable with a DNS) and the message relay.

      They have got a repository with their code that is uses MIT as license.

        Thanks for the response but can you ELI5? Can I actually follow/interact with someone from bluesky (via Mastodon specifically)?

          Yes and no, they are not natively connected but there are bridges between that can be used
