Bluesky Is Not Decentralized

I don’t understand what the naysayers want? They want an app that is decentralized, completely free, uses nothing remotely related to crypto, doesn’t serve ads, and where it starts day 1 with a robust ecosystem of applications using it.

These people are just winging for followers IMO.

I think you just described the fediverse. The naysayers want you use to use the fediverse instead of centralized crypto stuff.

A social network that’s not controlled by, or potentially controlled by a billionaire.

The traits required to become a billionaire are not the traits required to run a social network. This should be obvious by now. Zaphod Beeblebrox had no actual power for a reason.

I mean, I very much desire the ‘not crypto’ part of that. All the rest is optional. Facebook is better than crypto.
