What can you tell me about Bluesky?
(beehaw.org)
A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Bluesky supports porting user accounts between servers even more smoothly than Mastodon does - even if the original host do not want to cooperate.
Has Bluesky even federated yet? I've not seen it happen.
They have a sandbox environment federating with 3rd party servers where other devs can participate in testing, and in the main public beta environment they just switched away from one main server to like a dozen (still no 3rd party there) and moved user accounts around, so they can test the federation code for stuff like performance and effects of account migrations, etc, in a live environment.
They've said they won't open up federation with 3rd party servers on the main environment until they have moderation tools which can handle it, so they're working on that also now.
