I saw this from the moment BlueSky was trying to advertise itself as Twitter 2. Single point of ownership means it will definitely come to be locked down over time because server cost and administration will always be a problem.
The company is a company just like the company used to fund Activitypub and Mastodon development.
The protocol is still federated. Content addressing even makes mirrors more reliable!
(besides the current DM implementation, when encrypted messaging is ready it’s meant to get federated too)
Also, reminder that this is a UK law applying to all social websites there, even your average Lemmy instance. You could get blocked if you don’t comply.
