Federation is the future of social media, says Bluesky CEO Jay Graber

Bluesky started inside Twitter. Now, it’s competing with X, Mastodon, and Threads to push a decentralized vision for social networking.

The feature my company uses is the future of the field I work in. Not saying they are wrong, just that it's not really news that they have that opinion.
- And we'll leverage said feature until we become the market leader, at which point we will abandon it and begin the next phase of enshittification.

- 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.
  
  They've already made it clear what they mean by federation, and it has none of the benefits of real federation like in lemmy or mastodon.
Just bluesky isnt the future of social media. We‘ll see if they ever get that.
"Federation is the future" says someone that uses it and would benefit from it
