    Strictly speaking it’s not a walled garden for not being compatible with activitypub, it’s just a different protocol. The infrastructure is open source, but some critical parts (the relay) are still run only by bsky pbc with no clear way to switch to a competitor. But anyone can host an account on their own server and connect to the network

      Seems a bit strange in terms of ownership, no?
