Just realized that most people talking to me about Bluesky don't know about DIDs, don't care, and are clueless about its benefits.

And this is a big problem for Bluesky because that's the one thing that AT protocol has over ActivityPub.

For better or worse, Mastodon has spent the past 6 months educating newbies about the benefits of decentralization -- and now we're all able to have a discussion about it.

Folks on Bluesky are still oblivious about decentralization, don't know that Bluesky is supposed to be a decentralized service -- and might not react well when other servers start to federate with it.

@atomicpoet I bet they just end up using it to scale in the end and just makes it practically centralized. So they control surveillance and ads.
