Federation is enabled now. Its also a one year old project not 6+ years like mastodon so I think its fair to cut them some slack
Not the person you replied to. But I think they meant that Bluesky is using a protocol that only the company uses.
Sure its a federated and decentralized protocol, I guess. But if they're the only platform using it, it's still rather centralized in that regard.
Federation on the protocol was opened about 3 weeks ago so its not surprising no other company is using it yet. Theres many users running their own tiny instances and also people working on a Lemmy style app for the protocol and there’s already a Clubhouse type app and a couple different mastodon style apps.
Could you link to the Lemmy style app please, I haven't heard of this before
Its still in closed alpha the developer is in the bluesky pds discord
