People keep using BlueSky and decentralized in the same sentence. That's literally not a thing currently unless you're connected to Fediverse through BridgyFed.

"But there's PDS that aren't hosted by BlueSky!"

And let me ask, where ELSE can the data from that PDS go? Nowhere? Then it's not decentralized.

BlueSky has 1 website. BlueSky.

Fediverse has 20,000+ websites.

The only way BlueSky is currently decentralized, is through BridgyFed by opting in. It's not decentralized by design like Fedi.

I don't know what PDS is but Bluesky is just a Twitter clone.

After having 2 accounts banned on Twitter over the last several years each time losing followers that I spent years obtaining, I got sick of it.

I still have my account on "X", but I rarely post and only use it to read the accounts that matter to me.

Mastodon is like "The Seed" from Sword Art Online. And that is very appealing to me.

@ddrhazy PDS is basically bluesky's version of instances except they aren't websites like Fedi, they ONLY host the data, no website. It stands for Personal Data Server. They are claiming this means BlueSky is decentralized but theres only 1 place for the data to go, so it's almost useless data unless it's on BlueSky.

If the server is controlled by BlueSky, that means the FBI/CIA probably has a backdoor to easily access user data.

No thanks. Dead on arrival platform.

@ddrhazy The server is controlled by whoever hosts it, but the data still goes to BlueSky only. You can remove the data from BlueSky, but you'll never know when/if the government or anyone else has access to it beforehand so....yea

@BeAware

So Bluesky is in between every fetch, correct?

@ddrhazy BlueSky is the only fetch. It can't go anywhere else currently.
