Diving into the technical details of Bluesky

In November 2022, I migrated from Twitter to Mastodon. Since then, I also started administering a Mastodon server, and have gotten much more into the technical details of hosting services.

Abstract

In November 2022, I migrated from Twitter to Mastodon. Since then, I also started administering a Mastodon server, and have gotten much more into the technical details of hosting services. I semi-understand ActivityPub, which Mastodon is built on – so I wondered, how does Bluesky <strong> actually </strong> work?
