Blue sky: We are going to be distributed and decentralized!

Also blue sky: excuse us while we buy these massive servers for hosting all of the data.

@nican Why don't they call it what it is? It's a centralized network. Is it because "decentralized" is a marketable buzzword? It would be more honest to say "distributed".

@nican The whole bluesky thing has been so confusing to me. Everyone's gone there because it's centralised, and they're saying they're going de-centralised, but everything I read suggests that it'll still essentially be centralised in all but token gesture ways.

Oh well :P

@toastedlynx @nican its twitter without Elon or videos n gifs, that’s all they care about. People still have to think about what happens when the money inevitably runs out with these interest rates. While I’m dipping my toes everywhere I’m still enjoying a space w/ custom emoji in the interim tho 
@nican indeed it's just a lie to try and fool people into signing up for another corpo shithole instead of a proper website that won't manipulate them for profit. We should call out dirty tricks like this.

@nican yeah nah i dont think they’ll ever be decentralized lol

Granted there are issues with decentralized social media as well (see recent fediverse drama) but i do believe that eventually decentralized version would be the long lasting one and people will get used to how it operates over time

@tanzureir I'm absolutely not interested until they do decentralize
