So what would happen if a billionaire buys out Bluesky and starts spreading right wing propaganda all over it?

Completely hypothetical scenario

Definitely, that’s why I guess there are still no other server than Bluesky’s

Thank you Ruud!

If I understand correctly, using a custom domain name still makes you use the central Bluesky server, right?

Indeed, but I’m a bit surprised there isn’t any list of alternatives servers.

I would have to look more into the protocol specification, but it seems like this isn’t really federation, alternative servers are still relying on the central server, and that’s why nobody bothers with setting one up
