      That just sounds like standard scaling. No big Plattform is running on one server with one instance

        @notepass No. In difference to regular scaling you can see the host of your account. These are separate systems that communicate via Bluesky’s protocol and not via the regular scaling mechanisms.

            No because it’s not decentralized. That’s like saying Twitter is decentralized because it’s microservices communicate over https.

              That’s what I wanted to ask. Last time I heard about their federation, their team were claiming the tests are underway in a sandbox or something. I wonder how that’s going.
