Fediverse@lemmy.world•Can we please stop arguing about whether Bluesky is decentralized?English
1·4 months agoNo, you can’t. You can have a custom domain (“PDS” is the term they invented for this) but it still relies on bluesky’s servers.

3·4 months agoDon’t let them distract with with the “whattabout matrix”. The Matrix Foundation is not a social media company, and furthermore it’s a nonprofit.

3·4 months agoYou are correct. The term is called “openwashing”. Now and then bluesky
employeescultists will come on Lemmy and mastodon and try to LARP that their for-profit company has our best interests in mind.

2·4 months agoAbsolutely I was not trying to take away from your point! Cory Doctorow actually recently wrote a good piece on Wikipedia that you reminded me of.

2·4 months agoI agree with your overall point, but Wikipedia has a singular mission. Social settings can have wildy different missions from shitposting, to hobbies, study groups, to support groups, etc. There is no singular moderation ethos that can apply to all of them, that’s why decentralization is important in social media.
We want to algorithms to work for the people, not have people slaving for the algorithms.

1·4 months agoNo, please respond to the gif. If my grandmother had wheels, would she be a wagon?
BlueSky is centralized. Describing it as “federated” is being (intentionally, in your case) misleading.
