In terms of centralization, if you are in the tech sphere, you should have learned by now from the crypto fiasco that decentralization leads to abuse by people with money to game the system.
But in general, if you don't understand why people are moving to Bluesky, you probably need to be more in tune with US politics and realize we have a nazi in the white house who also happens to own Twitter.
- odo1242 2y agoYou’re conflating decentralization with financialization. Just because something is decentralized (e.g. BitTorrent, Mastodon) doesn’t mean it’ll be abused by people with money. Decentralization just means “not keeping everything in one server / something controlled by a single person”
- ActorNightly 2y ago>Decentralization just means “not keeping everything in one server / something controlled by a single person” Except that servers cost money, and internet is not free. Im all for setting up mesh networks with appropriate protocols that are truly decentralized, but people have to be willing to accept lots of pain points and slowness along the way, which quickly makes people not care.

- bee_rider 2y agoI don’t think they want one, they are just ending up with one naturally as the normal people leave Twitter.
- spankalee 2y agoYes, the creeps who are own and stay on Twitter obviously want an echo chamber, as evidenced by their content promotion algorithms.
- ActorNightly 2y agoCome back to this comment when its 2028 and US doesn't have a federal election because Trump declares fraud and gives himself emergency powers.
