@mmasnick Looks like there's some confusion in the comments about "server". As https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2024/06/whats-difference-between-mastodon-bluesky-and-threads wrote, the biggest point of centralisation is currently at the relay level. The BS relay currently plays a role similar to that of mastodon.social in the ActivityPub ecosystem, except it has no competitor. Direct communication between alternative networks of storage/identity servers is not really used, just like most people use Mastodon API clients instead of AP direct communication. #FediMeta
