#bluesky is *not* a #decentralized network because without their main server yours is useless.

So while you can #selfhost like Mastodon, they can actually disconnect you at any time or just selectively block your server's access to others whenever it's suit them.

That would be like #Mastodon needing 1 main Mastodon to exist for yours and other to exist, otherwise nothing. That is a BIG #dependency and very #political too being profit based and perhaps testing to see how far users will go to allowing profit making techniques on them.

Bluesky is therefore weak now and later, and also allows the classic #rugpull technique when the main server starts getting more political or profit orientated and doesn't like or need you any more. Then you will reallyknow about it!

These other systems ends up with a #rugpull and people saying:

"oh no Bluesky is so bad now, how could it get so bad? I'm leaving for the next thing (...that #rugpulls me again!)

Removing any server's access is too easy and allow them to make continual ultimatums for people to follow regardless of it's use, so their upgrades and 'features' might just but profit orientated (to snoop on you, exploit etc) just for your server to continue existing as usual.

Very #conditional and not like #Mastodon which doesn't have that disconnection or ultimatum looming over people's head...
