BlueSky is centralized.

It comes from this 2019 post by Mike Masnick.

Unfortunately the atprotocol is more like Profits > People > Platforms

Absolutely I was not trying to take away from your point! Cory Doctorow actually recently wrote a good piece on Wikipedia that you reminded me of.

I agree with your overall point, but Wikipedia has a singular mission. Social settings can have wildy different missions from shitposting, to hobbies, study groups, to support groups, etc. There is no singular moderation ethos that can apply to all of them, that’s why decentralization is important in social media.

We want to algorithms to work for the people, not have people slaving for the algorithms.

If a grandmother had wheels would you consider her to be a wagon?

No, please respond to the gif. If my grandmother had wheels, would she be a wagon?

BlueSky is centralized. Describing it as “federated” is being (intentionally, in your case) misleading.

ok and bluesky is literally centralized

More avoidance. You astroturfing?

I’m sorry your credibility is at zero with me. You keep avoiding the point.

I don’t understand, $600M? Is anyone using this browser?

Nothing big is wrong with them, the drama got blown way out of proportion to a frankly insane degree.

We’re counting hypotheticals as real now? I suppose your not-hypothetical girlfriend goes to another school too, right? Just not motivated to visit?

As you’re no doubt aware, the reason 99.9% of bluesky users are on a single server is obviously not because “nobody is motivated” to create other servers.

A meaningless “idea”. Might as well say BlueSky has “concepts of a plan”.

That’s funny and makes me with I didn’t delete my reddit account

Actually there is an episode of VOY that proves they did evolve a special brian region that enables them to learn how to supress emotions

Good read. We’re seeing a return to “social” networks. The big platforms haven’t been social for years.

portable identity

So like when bluesky starts having to pay back their investors I can portable my identity to… one of the other equally populated blueskies out there?

So does Reddit but you presumably see some value in federated platforms yea?

I’m always shocked by the number of of BlueSky fans that show up on Lemmy. If they don’t care about centralization why are they here and not on Reddit?
