Chris FletchAre Bluesky people upset that a venture capitalist is now in charge of the platform built on VC money?
Paco Hope@HailsandAles They believe it is distributed and open, too. Words don't mean anything any more.
Luna Lactea@paco @HailsandAles It's distributed & it's also open in some ways, but it's centralized. These aren't mutually exclusive properties.
@paco @HailsandAles The distributed architecture & partial openness gives a good illusion that it's decentralized & that the company doesn't control the network, even though it does & it is centralized.
