    Until it gets mass adoption, then the enshitification will begin. Bluesky is still funded by a corporation.

      Also the article doesnt have any critical question how BlueSky is a “mediated” network instead of decentralised …

      Not merely funded, owned by a for-profit.

      It exists for profit. That is its goal and purpose.

        Not quite. It’s just easier to jump in to mechanics you already know, rather than try to reconceptualise the structure and learn to navigate new pitfalls: oh I need to select a server? Which one is the right one? Oh I need a client, which one? Oh I can’t quote retweet? How do I find interesting people to follow? Is this the right handle in the right server or am I following a bot?

      I’m pretty sure that’s just the establishment liberal media. A real revolution would mean upending their own way of life.

    It was a matter of time until BS (I prefer to use this abbreviation) reveals its true face, tragically after it permits the connection with instances in the Fediverse. It must be blocked immediately from Mastodon and others.

    To those saying it isn’t decentralized. Most people don’t care. Bluesky is an easy to use Twitter alternative. People use it over others because of it’s ease of use and popularity. The average user doesn’t care about the how.

    CopeSky would be a better name. It will have to close up shop once investors realize it’s not Twitter 2.0.

    It’s sad that Bluesky was chosen over Mastodon as the standard Twitter alternative when Mastodon is actually decentralized
