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.

    I’m probably not going to read the article. But there’s currently just one bluesky instance, so it’s 100% centralized, not decentralized at all.

    Jack was talking about the “protocol” at one point… I don’t think that matters at all right now. It’s just another social media site!
