    The “pseudo” federated platform. If it flops they will just tell everyone “federation s*cks” but BlueSky isnt federated at all

      You are probably right here in how news agencies and other competing sites would/might phrase it if BlueSky fails.

      Though what bugs me and logically does not make sense (to me) is saying federation is what caused or could cause a site or service to fail.

      Its like saying my new shinny website failed because of the Internet, the Internet must then be the problem.

        Yeah i have the same feeling about it, but its like that buzzword AI. If AI company fails its always the “AI” but no one understood what AI did in that project.
