I thought BlueSky was supposed to be a decentralized social metwork?! 🤦♂️

@prologic you can run your own Personal Data Server (PDS), to which you login to, and your data is kept. If you use BlueSky servers, you are at their mercy.
@bender Yes yes but this is exactly my point! We again have a social network claiming to be "decentralized" only to have " top heavy" instances 🤣 -- Mastodon is the same too 😅

Is it really that fucking hard to use decentralized, Self-Hosted tech? 🤔 Or do people just not know how? 😢

@prologic It's pretty hard, actually. There will either be more friction than people will accept (BitTorrent) or it won't be decentralized in practice (LBRY/Odysee).
@bender , do you depend on first-party Bluesky servers for the client application?
