#Bluesky is finally testing federation with "allow-listed servers".
They're finally taking the step of decentralization.
Many people will naysay this. But it's absolutely better that they move to decentralization than *not* do it.

@atomicpoet Wow, near thread. I feel like we still haven't hit the sweet spot. ActivityPub is nice because of the low hardware req, but the data accumulated for say a Mastodon instance is still large.
AT/Nostr don't fix this, but it's the defining challenge I think.
