The entire point of the #fediverse is to decentralize social media.
Whether it's pretty. non-profit, or intolerant to hate speech is secondary.
#Bluesky has no interest in proper decentralization of the network. The goal is to provide an illusion of autarchy and mobility while data is still centralized.
So they've no incentive to actually solve the challenges a distributed system comes with.
Why else do you think it takes so much time to make #Mastodon as easy and fun to use as Threads or BS?
@ekes well, not quite:
Fediverse didn't seek to decentralize social media but rather to re-centralize it around instances.
There are major implications of that design decision, on all levels from technological through social organization.
We'll see what comes of Bluesky. Sure, they're moving suspiciously slowly, but that in itself isn't reason to make assumptions about their intentions.
