Contrary to what we could thought, Bluesky doesn't asks about which server to use on registration.
It's not federate.

Bluesky asks about which server to use on registration like mastodon.social does. For me the difference seems to be better marketing for Bluesky which makes people want to deal with the change and somewhat enjoy it rather than see every obstacle as a pain.
Bluesky does have some advantages like starter packs (and network effect now that it has so many accounts).
"Bluesky asks about which server to use on registration"
No he doesn't ask, you're wrong.
And there is no single one alternative server where we can register and interact with people on bsky.app

half the comments so far talk about bluesky being similar to x ie private companies.
However AFAIK the use of the "AT protocol" seems to me to be a major difference https://bsky.social/about/faq.
I am really curious to know how I am wrong in that.
As a long time X user and now on bluesky i can tell that there is a huge difference in the content which makes it clear that the platform was pushing accounts with specific political views (or muting others)
Can you prove to us that it is possible to interact with someone on Bluesky without being registered on Bluesky?
Threads use e ActivityPub but we know it's bullshit and that they will shut down the network as soon as possible. Bluesky is the same shit. AT protocol is just a honey pot.
Looks like past events had deep technical talks on libp2p's DHT (https://p2p.paris/en/talks/libp2p-dht/), and a novel gossip based pubsub protocol (https://p2p.paris/en/talks/gossipub/). Pretending that there is zero overlap between "crypto and blockchain bullshit" and p2p work is detrimental to everyone involved, there is serious p2p research and work being done both from crypto projects and from more traditional projects.
In 2022 they gave :
15 minutes for libp2p-dht
30 minutes for gossipsub
It's not clear what it's about. I suspect some crypto bullshit.
Yes it's full of crypto and blockchain bullshit, nothing to do with p2p.
They won't speak about https://joinpeertube.org
Nor about implementation of WebRTC implementation in Transmission https://github.com/transmission/transmission/issues/47

It's not an overlay provider itself, but uber/kraken is a "P2P Docker registry capable of distributing TBs of data in seconds". It uses the bittorrent protocol to deliver docker images to large clusters.
https://github.com/uber/kraken?tab=readme-ov-file#comparison...
"Kraken was initially built with a BitTorrent driver, however, we ended up implementing our P2P driver based on BitTorrent protocol to allow for tighter integration with storage solutions and more control over performance optimizations.
Kraken's problem space is slightly different than what BitTorrent was designed for. Kraken's goal is to reduce global max download time and communication overhead in a stable environment, while BitTorrent was designed for an unpredictable and adversarial environment, so it needs to preserve more copies of scarce data and defend against malicious or bad behaving peers.
Despite the differences, we re-examine Kraken's protocol from time to time, and if it's feasible, we hope to make it compatible with BitTorrent again."
And this is just one the many nuisances produce by cars.
Electric cars do not massively reduce almost any of the pollution produced by cars.
We have to reduce the automobile fleet by at least 95% to solve all the nuisances produces by cars.
