I will continue to point it out as long as people keep recommending it. Its not a minor complaint or a small point of disagreement, its a complete deal breaker that makes the platform worthless to invest any time in. No matter how much time passes it will always be a shit platform as long as its centralized.
Also bluesky isnt part of the fediverse so this doesnt even really belong in here…
go to https://reddwarf.whey.party/ and all requests will be made to Constellation (a hobby project which tracks backlinks of records, which is completely independent of Bluesky PBC), the PDSes directly, and Bluesky’s CDN (which is negligible since a CDN can be an easy replacement on a small scale)
Its works well for normies because it is centralized. Every time you see non nerds discuss the lack of widespread fediverse adoption the main reason is “picking a server is intimidating”. 90% of bluesky users (probably more) have never heard of the fediverse or know what “decentralized” even means. They picked it because it was easy and because the centralized moderation seemed more trustworthy than the one on twitter.
Literally the whole point of bluesky is to try to make a platform that is decentralized and that people will flock to even if they’re normies. To catch the twitter wave they did the second part before the first. Eventually other companies will pop up that use ATproto and normies will grow to understand that they’re federated.
Keep dreaming then. Like damn some people just want to believe the most unrealistic stuff.
So far we have a 100% enshittification rate of all social media platforms of this scale. They all started out supposedly open, free speech focused and hackable and they all fell to greed. There is absolutely nothing stopping bluesky from saying “hmm look at those 40 millions users we have locked into our walled garden, lets extract money from them” and there is nothing you would be able to do about it.
Until the main server accounts for <30% of all bluesky users all this bla bla is worthless.

it’s not centralized

99.99% of users on bluesky.social = centralized no matter what cute little toys people built on the side
Yes, but that can (and probably will) change, especially if people start using instances like those soon.
No it wont. And you know it wont. People chose bluesky because of its centralized nature, not despite it.
No, they chose bsky because it works well and is an alternative to twitter, idk why anyone would choose againsy a decentralised platform.

There are four other posts about Bluesky or ATProto on the front page of !fediverse@lemmy.world (when viewed from lemmy.zip), so I guessed otherwise.
I think the sidebar clarifies it pretty well
Yeah and “but other people are doing it” is not a valid excuse lol
That is exactly what I meant, just because other people are doing it too, it doesn’t stop you from reading the sidebar
