    Bluesky is not as decentralized as you think… Just saying.

      Bluesky is not decentralized at all.

      That is actually an advantage. Centralized platforms are able to achieve larger audiences, increasing the chance that I will be able to find content I actually care about.

        Centralized platforms get top-down control. You’re trading your freedom for convenience.

        Stop pining for the algorithms. They’re making you stupider by guaranteeing that you only see the content you want to see, and never the content you need to see.

          On Bluesky you can choose which algorithm/s you want to see though and even create your own.

        Only as long as the centralized authority stays aligned with you. Then you have the same problem.
