Umm... did the government just say the quiet part out loud for real?
One interesting device the temple employs is forcing visitors to turn three times along the path between entering the gate and reaching the entrance.
Although the distance is short, it creates the illusion of one having 'travelled' to reach the destination and thus maximizes the small space.
@mastodonmigration “Decentralized” does not just mean “spread across multiple servers.” Decentralization is about authority and *control*.
If one entity can make a decision that determines how all the other servers operate - such as blocking access to a specific audience - then it’s not decentralized.
So, in response to a post this afternoon calling attention to how Bluesky blocking all their users from Mississippi, a Bluesky engineer doubles down on corporate 'decentralized' marketing jargon, and starts talking PDSs, relays and AppViews.
How tone deaf can you be? You just cut off all your users from an entire state. You provide no guidance on where they can go. Run your own PDS. For reals?
Seriously, Bluesky what does your average user in Mississippi do tonight?
