How decentralized is Bluesky really? (dustycloud.org)

This is a pretty great, long form post about the structure of Bluesky, and how it's largely kinda pretending to be decentralized at the moment. I'm not trying to make a dig at it. I've enjoyed the platform myself for a while, but it's good to learn more about how it actually works.

Before I left Reddit, for some time it had started to feel like every comment thread would quickly devolve into a chain of "um actually". So much so that I stopped commenting. I didn't need the hit to the ego and I have no interest in getting into internet arguments. I haven't had that experience here, and ir's encouraged me to participate far more than I did there.

This!

That…became an all too common upvoted reply. At one point Reddit was good, but for years it’s been sliding into enshitification.

You're free to have that choice but the good thing about you making that choice is allowing others to discuss without asking you. Ill admit I didnt comment often either before coming here but the reason for that was I already would read similar comments to what I was thinking. Dogpiling was a problem on reddit but thats with all social media and even life in general.

Dont go on stage if you cant handle the crowd.
