I stopped reading when the "journalist" asked this question:

How did you end up starting a decentralized social platform?

How little research must one do to credulously repeat that PR talking point for a platform that is in fact completely centralized?

I stopped at the bit about revolutionizing communication online. That revolution happened over a decade ago with the rise of social media. More social media is just more, not new.

Decentralisation via activitypub is the next revolution

Yall are so annoying. Bluesky is 2 years old. Mastodon is like 8 years old. Also theres already another instance and relays running on a raspberry pi.

Yall have such a hate boner you dont even do research. No wonder normies will never use mastodon or lemmy yall are insufferable and mastodon is still just a copy of twitter with no new features

Bluesky’s model is built in a way that means it won’t ever be decentralized. There are plenty of articles about it.

We don't have a hate boner. We see "decentralized" being thrown around like a buzzword and we know that it really doesn't apply to their platform.

It's like the Libertarian Party taking the word "libertarian" and flipping the meaning to describe their ideology.

It's a distortion of the spirit of the word and actual libertarians obviously want to clear up the misunderstandings that result from being introduced to the concept of libertarianism through such a group.

...mastodon is still just a copy of twitter with no new features

What new features does Bluesky have...?

[–] 30p87@feddit.org 24 points 7 hours ago

Being a centralized decentralized platform of course. Very innovative.

Someone clearly has never used context menus or opened their account settings in Mastodon.

Reddit is now decentralized, I just set up nginx to cache it🤡

Oh wait, PDS' don't even cache lol

Also theres already another instance and relays running on a raspberry pi.

Oh yeah? I can join that second server right now and communicate with folks on the main server?

Do you have a link to the raspi instance?
