It's like they are so capitalism brain-wormed that they have to use what the rich guy says, but if only it were disconnected from the rich guy.

Give me just $1mil of that 30 you're raising, will stand you up a server in however long it takes a host to provision an instance.

@RadicalEdward You should rather use it to improve onboarding flows, because clearly Bluesky did something better than the fediverse to get people out of the X cesspool.

@RadicalEdward I see people from Mozilla Foundation listed on their website. Remember when Mozilla closed their Mastodon instance in December?

@RadicalEdward I'm pretty sure that a decentralized Bluesky will never exist, because it is too late. It is already the new Twitter. People will not start moving on separate AT Protocol instances.

The only improvement I see over current ActivityPub software is the potential ability to keep your handle when moving to another instance, but it will only be possible if you register your own domain name, which is not something that much common to everyone.

@Exagone313 @RadicalEdward my very limited understanding is that it's not about servers. Anyone can host a user server. It's who runs the feed - where you get your posts to and from. That's an open protocol that anyone could theoretically provide, but the scale challenges are it would have to be able to handle every post ever - not just the networked ones the user server is interacting with, which is the Activity Pub protocol.

@RadicalEdward At first I was kinda' upset by this, but honestly, let 'em have BlueSky and all their bullshit. Let 'em make Twitter 3. As long as the main goal will be monetization, it doesn't matter how many times they split it or if they have a billion servers. It's still going to end up in the same place because the only real goal is making money.

@RadicalEdward agree and go further. As long as you look to billionaires to save you from billionaires you are doomed to failure. It seems obvious to everyone else but not to them.

@RadicalEdward seems like a natural fit; Silicon Valley replicating into a new host
