Maybe they mean Nostr? If so, describing it as “the bitcoin bros’ network” is a bit misleading, since the “crypto” portion of Nostr is short for “cryptography”, not “cryptocurrency”.
In theory, bluesky can federate with other apps but it is currently the only one using their protocol, bluesky servers can federate with each other and when a new project using atprotocol appears it will probably be able to federate with that
I’m having trouble figuring out how bluesky is part of the fediverse at all.
From my understanding it doesn’t federate with anything.
It’s like saying a hamburger is really just a cheeseburger…you just need to add cheese.
It has an adapter that integrated with the current protocol.
Oh great. That bridge even federates with the bitcoin bros’ network (nostr)
Which one is that. I guess I’ve been left out of the loop.

:D good one. My new favourite take on nostr.

There is only one bluesky it’s literally centralized

Any example of federated instance where registrations are open?
According to this blog post, they are currently limited to 10 accounts, so not many open servers, but you can host your own.
This is an old blog post, though, so the limit might have been lifted
