Could someone please explain to me whether Bluesky is decentralized?

@cwebber well ok. There is this thread connected to the blog post, from a person that looks like she knows what she is talking about:

@cwebber @phillycodehound

Yes, but where would be the fun of doing this?

[cwebber@social.coop]

@lgsp thank you I will ask her

[cwebber@social.coop]

@lobingera @phillycodehound probably no fun, decentralization is boring

[bam@sfba.social]

@cwebber You should see the author’s social threads.

@Bam @cwebber At least, this time I detected something was off ^^'

I hope the carry this swiftly across the blue orb called the sky !

@Bam @lgsp is the author on social media

@cwebber
Seriously, the other interesting piece (not from you) I could read about the topic (bit I bet you already know) is this one

@cwebber it could easily be decentralised with a bit of funding from someone like Thiel or Musk. Nothing a bit of VC or advertising can't fix /s

[cwebber@social.coop]

@otfrom they could fix a lot of things I bet

someone should get DOGE in to fix up the protocols maybe

[falken@qoto.org]

@cwebber in theory it is. In practice one company runs all the servers, and it's not practical to run own due to storage cost and huge rate of increase

[cwebber@social.coop]

@falken really is that true? how expensive would it be

[morix@loci.onl]

@cwebber if we ask around we can probably find a few others in other countries even, all the people there can't be bots on my computers right?

[cwebber@social.coop]

@morix there have to be some fediverse chicks on here somewhere

[janbeta@chaos.social]

@cwebber Many of its users are in different places, thus totally decentralized!

[lobingera@chaos.social]

@cwebber @phillycodehound

... i see on the horizon a talk at the 39C3 "Make decentralization less boring again" ...

If you are also on Blue Sky, I am asking over there, feel free to help spread the word here or there https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:dyyvywontyeuaegemczcushz/post/3lmwkq433ec2x

We will get to the bottom of this

@dpk @cwebber @lgsp I make all my decisions about content quality based on the amount of CSS and JS wrapped around it.
