How decentralized is Bluesky really? -- Dustycloud Brainstorms

This is a pretty great, long form post about the structure of Bluesky, and how it’s largely kinda pretending to be decentralized at the moment. I’m not trying to make a dig at it. I’ve enjoyed the platform myself for a while, but it’s good to learn more about how it actually works.

    And yet, everybody stayed until the Muskrat took over. Because until then it wasn’t the platform telling people to be nazis and nazis were a nuisance but a minority - as are people who falsely accuse scientists of being anti-science on BSky. That’s exactly what I’m saying.

      If the label appears on your profile for everyone to see without further info then it’s truth value is thrown away. IDK how big a problem it really is on bsky now though. The other guy says it is, you seem to think the opposite, I don’t care enough to look into it further.

      If Twitter went Nazi post-Musk while it’s software stayed about the same, that shows that management really does shoulder blame.

        It doesn’t appear for everyone to see.

        I feel like we’re talking past each other and it’s too exhausting to try and get across what I’m saying. Have a pleasant day.

          It doesn’t appear for everyone to see.

          Every user of the extension then, which is apparently a lot of users, enough to affect the site culture, if the other guy’s report reflects reality.
