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.

    Presently? Hardly at all. It is interesting that a private Corp is even seriously playing with building a decentralized platform, I guess.

    The files are out there to host your own server but from the short look I took it’s pretty involved. Most people with the knowledge and interest to host their own twitter-like server have probably already started a mastodon instance.
