So bluesky is as decentralized as mastodon, but you achieve that by running a relay instead of a server? Do I have that right?


@irelephant
I’ll stick with the nerds.


@irelephant
Genuine question, then: why is hardly anybody hosting their own Bluesky server?


It’s not a matter of how many users, but whether those users have the option to switch servers. By the former standard, mastodon would be considered centralized simply because of mastodon.social.
