How decentralized is Bluesky really? (dustycloud.org)

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.

"People have been saying"

I love that absolutely meaningless statement.

I'm going by a post on another forum by a regular there who has experienced this and says his colleagues have too. That's good enough for me. I'm not really interested in bsky anyway.

Is it totally authoritative? Probably not, but it's as good as when a Lemmy poster identifies problems with some particular model of cell phone so I decide not to buy it. We all take info like that on board all the time.
