Everytime I see bluesky PBC I have to resist the urge to rant. There is no such thing as a public benefit corporation. Its just marketing BS.
Be strong now. Mastodon is a gGmbH. That’s the German version and translates to public benefit limited liability corporation.
Yes but we like mastodon because they’re open and if they fuck up we can move away at any time. Bluesky is completely closed except the protocol and the network is fully centralized. They’re just waiting until they have enough marketshare to enshitify.
Not at all. The issue with Bluesky’s “federation” is, you can’t really set it up at home, you need thousands of dollars and it’s not really accessible.
Search up “Mastodon instances” and then “Bluesky instances” you see like thousands for Mastodon and only the official one for Bluesky. It’s marketing gimmick for the mainstream normies who want to pretend they have freedom but in reality they’re just jumping on the train with the billionaire who runs it.

Bluesky has a different architecture, there are no “instances”, it’s PDSs, relays and AppViews, all of which can be and are already being self-hosted.

If you mean Dorsey, he has had nothing to do with Bluesky for well over a year now because he resented them implementing moderation tools
IMO, setting it up at home is not the bar for decentralization. I don’t think it’s even practical to run your own self-hosted fediverse server.
I think we can get just about all the same benefits of decentralization at the scale of the city.

That’s exactly where I set the bar.
Thats a super cool visualization! This might make a really cool post for !dataisbeautiful@lemmy.world! Maybe a screenshot with a seperate link to the site
Thanks for posting this! 😊
