Nobody's changing their minds at this point, so let's stop wasting our time.

    Bluesky is not decentralized.

    public benefits corporation

    A meaningless term. Elon’s xAI is a public benefit corporation and their product spreads Nazi propoganda.

      Well, you completely ignored all my arguments except the one you could find issue with.

      Yes, it’s concentrated on one instance, but that will change before it enshittifies.

      You can migrate accounts.

      You keep linking back to that page not understanding that that concentration is a result of it being first built up as a centralized platform, then opened to other instances. There has not been enough time for other instances to pop up.

      By that same logic according to that page git isn’t decentralized and nobody should use it, because microsoft owns an instance with >90% of the users.

      I hope you can see the flaw in that logic.

          …except it isn’t centralized, since anyone can host their own instance that doesnt depend on bsky.social

              Except they literally aren’t, there are many users that aren’t on that “single place”
