To Bluesky users. CEO Jay Graber has said #Bluesky is decentralized. If you don't like what the company is doing, you have the option to move your account.
So, for instance, if the company welcomed and verified JD Vance, as has now happened, you could move elsewhere.
Well folks, this was a lie, Bluesky is actually a centralized platform. There is no place on Bluesky to move to.
But you do have one option. Move to the Fediverse. A truly decentralized defensible public social media network.
Today marks Juneteenth, a day to commemorate that moment in 1865—more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation—when Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas to inform enslaved Black Americans that they were finally free.
@Moss @adanielroth Okay. I don't agree, for two reasons:
- When you migrate instances, you can't bring your posts,
- I actually care about my posts. I put a lot of effort into them :(
If Mastodon had made different technical decisions (there are bugs asking for this going back to 2016), then I think what you say would be true, but that's not how I see the Mastodon-flavored fediverse as it actually developed :(
