Once upon a time, in a galaxy not so far away (this one, in fact), a few internet rebels decided that they were tired of the corporate overlords controlling their online lives. Thus, the fediverse was born — an attempt to wrest control of microblogging services, such as Twitter and its ilk, away from centralized powers and into the hands of the people.

I may have missed something: what's the issue with Blue Sky?

  • doesnt use ActivityPub, so it federates on its own protocol...
  • is not fully decentralized, in that it requires 'routers' managed by big companies for some core features
