    I stopped reading when the “journalist” asked this question:

    How did you end up starting a decentralized social platform?

    How little research must one do to credulously repeat that PR talking point for a platform that is in fact completely centralized?

      Yall are so annoying. Bluesky is 2 years old. Mastodon is like 8 years old. Also theres already another instance and relays running on a raspberry pi.

      Yall have such a hate boner you dont even do research. No wonder normies will never use mastodon or lemmy yall are insufferable and mastodon is still just a copy of twitter with no new features

      Edit: to anyone curious about keeping up with bluesky’s progress in decentralization and all the other stuff theyre working on here’s a good blog https://fediversereport.com/

        We don’t have a hate boner. We see “decentralized” being thrown around like a buzzword and we know that it really doesn’t apply to their platform.

        It’s like the Libertarian Party taking the word “libertarian” and flipping the meaning to describe their ideology.

        It’s a distortion of the spirit of the word and actual libertarians obviously want to clear up the misunderstandings that result from being introduced to the concept of libertarianism through such a group.

        Oh yeah? I can join that second server right now and communicate with folks on the main server?

        Oh, when did twitter add CWs that required a clickthrough? The ability to set your own character limit? When did it remove its algorithms to show you posts it considered relevant? When did it become open source? When did it become decentralised and federated? When did it start working on end-to-end encryption for DMs? When did it allow for built in themes?

            That’s what you said, so I was just going off of that.
