“Bluesky is called a decentralized network and uses the term federation. The problem is that their technology, from the point of view of power dynamics, is not decentralized at all,” emphasizes Christine Lemmer-Webber, an expert on decentralized social protocols. “The use of some decentralisation techniques, but the decentralized service itself is not today. There is one big company that controls the flow of information, and without which this network cannot operate at the moment.”
This does not mean that moving from X/Twitter to Bluesky is a bad idea. “I appreciate that Bluesky wants to build a service that can quickly fully replace Twitter. But I don’t think they should claim that this service is decentralized and instead focus on the date of a “trustworthy way”.

Guys I’m starting to think these corporations are just in it for the money, and that the money is fundamentally at odds with the user experience.
What?! Noooooooooo… Name one time that’s happened!
Now can you convince the masses?
until there’s a star trek like cultural and social sea change; only money can convince the masses
That’s the plan!
We need to go out and engage users and let them know they have choices.
