    What’s the difference, really? Aren’t they both decentralized microblogging social networks?

      BlueSky isn’t decentralised yet. Right now the only thing that is decentralized is data storage. You can’t set up an independent federated instance yet. They promise they will add that feature, but it hasn’t happened yet.
