@parismarx@davidgerard I agree. Decentralization is an anti-feature for most users most of the time. You only see the benefit when you’ve been here a while.

I read the original interview with Mr. Dorsey. What he wanted out of Bluesky was not a new social network, but a new decentralised protocol for social networks — that's an entirely reasonable goal. Bluesky has a protocol, but at present it's primarily a network. It’s understandable that Mr. Dorsey is disappointed.
"Decentralisation is an anti-feature for a social network because it leads to the sort of technical detail that hampers functionality."
Difficult to argue against that with the current state of affairs to be honest. I'm piloting a Mastodon-compatible instance for a local solidarity economy group and they're struggling with basic usability issues.
