#Bluesky engineer Jake Gold confirmed to me that a PDS can opt out of BGS indexing.
Which also tells me that AT protocol (and Bluesky) will allow defederation.
So there you have it, @gruber.
If you use AT protocol, you will be able to defederate from other servers for both petulant and non-petulant reasons.
If defederation is possible, does that mean #Bluesky is doomed too?
@atomicpoet It doesn't necessarily mean that Blue Sky is doomed. It means that Blue Sky is going to have to play fairly or risk defederation. The cool thing about the #fediverse is that it is still decentralized. Corpos don't have any kind of control over it and I'd like to keep it that way.
@ablackcatstail The “doom” is sarcasm.
I’m referring to this thread: https://mastodon.social/@atomicpoet/110330628531561624
@atomicpoet @ablackcatstail Gruber gets a lot of shit wrong; but it’s obvious that he was refering to the “petulant nannyism” and not the ability defederate.
