The “internally federated” PDS servers worked exactly like a self-hosted PDS. Bluesky made one addition, to wrap the internal PDS servers into a new service called “Entryway,” which provides the “bsky.social” identity to the PDSes. Entryway will become the “official” Bluesky OAuth authorization server for users who choose bsky.social servers, and one operated as a self-hosted server.

Flooring retailers are like mattress stores. They have 500 brands of flooring products they sell. They work with hundreds of manufacturers, many of whom might have multiple private labels across showrooms. Most retailers do not stock any products. They are mostly showrooms with large format samples and have to order everything to be delivered into their showroom from the manufacturer. When a consumer walks in, it's a terrible experience. It's like old-school buying a mattress. It's very confusing. Things are priced all over the place. The consumer picks a product, and the retailer has to order that product from that manufacturer. They don't carry any inventory. The store is a showroom. They then have to get that product freighted in. The product might be coming from a manufacturer or distributor. Then the retailer does the installation. They have their installation crews. The retailer is critical because the education piece is important.
