  • How decentralized Bluesky is compared to the Fediverse.

  • Because, despite being wildly impractical, it’s technically built on tech that COULD be decentralized.

    Yes exactly, it reminds me of the logic of cryptocurrency boosters. I just found out that the bluesky CEO (not to mention jack dorsey) are both crypto advocates so it makes a lot more sense now.

  • As I brought up in the title of my post, she's currently the highest level role at a morally questionable company. She has a pattern of behavior of working at morally questionable companies.

  • Because the claims of people involved with cryptocurrency are historically very untrustworthy, that's why.

    The thing that got me interested is that BlueSky says it's "decentralized" but the more I look into it, it's only "decentralized" using a very narrow, highly technical definition of the term "decentralized".

    Cryptocurrency is the same. People with a financial stake in cryptocurrency often say it is "decentralized" but it's only true if you accept their extremely narrow definitions of what that word means.

  • I'm moreso curious if it federated in a literal sense. Is it even possible to participate without using bsky.app's servers?
