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.

Toot

@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.
