No. This isn’t true. Bluesky has always been very transparent about exactly what flavor of decentralization they offer. The whole thing is swappable microservices you can host yourself, including the relay if you really care. The relay is an optimization to make their app offering work in a performant, scalable way. The relay is described here and here: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2402.03239 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2402.03239, https://atproto.com/guides/glossary#relay https://atproto.com/guides/glossary#relay The protocol Bluesky is built on is certainly decentralized. It’s really fucking annoying that people act like it’s not “real” decentralization, when in fact it’s just a different flavor of decentralization on the technical level compared to, say, the fediverse.
