So is twitter and all the other clones.
That's still not an excuse to go with the centralized option when centralization is what put people in this position.
Bluesky is better and decentralised
How is it better?
If it's really decentralized, where are the other instances?
It's better than X because there's no nonsense right-wing political propaganda and shitty CEO, and it's better than Mastodon because it's more user friendly.
It is meant to be decentralised, but most people aren't creating their own instances.
This is achieved through centralization. There's a reason nobody else is hosting their own PDS. You use the bluesky app, on the bluesky website, through the bluesky servers.
Once you get passed the massive hurdle of making an account (no different than when we all collectively figured out email), it's the exact same UI and experience.
It always makes me laugh when people say "sign up is hard"...it's 100% just an excuse, and a majority of the time the effort involved before coming to this conclusion is 0.
So... censorship and not-actually-being-decentralized are your reasons for liking it more?
Err... don't be fooled. The CEO of bluesky is only in this to make money. If he could do what musk does, odds are he would.
There's no censorship the right-wingers haven't moved to bluesky yet.
Still better than X and Mastodon, so yes.
You mean aggressively lobby for right wing takeover and attempt to influence international governance? I have my doubts
Except it's not decentralized, so it's not better than Mastodon.
I mean do whatever he thinks will make his business the most amount of profit.
You sound like a foot-soldier doing the dirty work for his lord. By that I mean, you're arguing in favor of a platform that only exists to make the owners of it as much money as possible.
Try to see it for what it is.
You’d think a ‘grammarpolice’ would be thinking critically but it seems you live a facade.
Blue sky and all these shitty central versions will end up being the same as twitter. Twitter did not end up being twitter until it was purchased by a billionaire and Mark / Jack are all over BlueSky and it only takes time to tell you the story and you just can’t seem to picture that story it seems or as stated like living in a facade. Greed will win.
