It’s sad that Bluesky was chosen over Mastodon as the standard Twitter alternative when Mastodon is actually decentralized
It’s sad, but expected.
People who like the twitter-format aren’t that intelligent.
People leave one shit hole corporate dystopia for another and think things are going to change.
Nah dude if you stay an early adopter you can hop onto whatever platform is a fuckin desert before they enshittify it the minute it starts getting a community
Another shit private company trying to take over the world. Fuck off
She basically admits that BlueSky is not decentralized. “If you don’t like the moderation, just go build your own app” yeah cool that’s exactly not the point.
I mean… isn’t the point of decentralization that you can build your own service with the same protocol and still communicate with the other services?
There are ongoing initiatives for alternative stacks speaking the AT protocol, like Northsky, or Indiesky.
There’s also community-run labelers and blocklists for moderation. You can make the moderation stronger, what you might not be able to do is make it weaker if the PDS takes an account down fully, or the indexer/relay refuses to use it.
You’re not wrong but that’s not quite decentralization, that’s just not building a walled garden, but retaining the power to put up walls at any point. If most users are on BlueSky, then BlueSky retains the power. If they decide to end support of AT or to extend (break) it, they keep their user base while everything else is left in the dust.
This is why people are saying not to create an account on mastoson.social - it’s getting too big. And mastodon.social is run by a non-profit, whereas BlueSky is a for-profit company. True decentralization and federation are against their interests.
Utterly fuck shitter alt bluesky. Fuck them sideways and down and dead. Fuck them dead.
This is a psychotic reaction to a new social media site that is better than almost all the existing ones.
I hate how bluesky is seen as a revolution while fediverse devs have been doing shit ton of work for years
