Bit of a side note for my fellow protocol enjoyers: this site is WhiteWind which is another app on the atproto network. Bluesky is a microblogging app on atproto while WhiteWind is a long form blogging app on the same network. It's pretty neat.

Bluesky is not decentralized. It is a reference app built on top of a decentralized, social networking protocol -- AT Protocol.
