With the news that Bluesky is blocking access to users from the U.S. state of Mississippi because it can't comply with a law requiring it "to collect and store sensitive information from all its users, in addition to the detailed tracking of minors," people have looked at other fediverse services, such as Mastodon, with the same question in mind, to which Mastodon CEO Eugen Rochko says: "And this is why real decentralization matters. There is nobody that can decide for the fediverse to block Mississippi." And that's (part of) the point of this article. "I believe the open social web contains a multitude of fediverses – some connected by protocol, others by platform, denylist, or shared governance. Is Nostr the fediverse? Bluesky? Maybe it doesn't matter. What matters is that anyone can create their own fediverse and choose their connections." Via Laurens Hof.
