Is the problem with #bluesky the AT protocol itself, or just how the developers over at Bluesky implement it? In theory could it be possible to make the AT protocol truly decentralized, the same way the #activitypub protocol is, or is that a lost cause? #askfedi

(Don’t worry, I’m not thinking of joining Bluesky or anything, I’m jut curious to hear people’s thoughts on this)

@chimpchomp mcc has done a lot of writing and boosting about it. I understand that it is decentralized, but at a heavy infrastructure cost to handle a larger number of messages than you’d get in most ActivityPub implementations.
@drewdaniels that makes sense. I guess it would be difficult to host your own, single user instance like you can with ActivityPub
