PDSes and relays exist at the whim of Bluesky’s corporate entity. Having all of the endpoints on the network controlled by a single agent is what makes Bluesky centralized. If Bluesky decided so, your server can be removed from their network and is functionally useless at that point. They decide who is and is not allowed to be a part of Bluesky.

For contrast, no such governing body exists with ActivityPub networks. Nobody can decide whether or not an instance should be removed from the network, they can only choose whether or not to federate with that instance. If you wanted to truly silence a Lemmy instance, for example, it would take the cooperation of all the major Lemmy admins to defederate, and is an entirely democratic process as a result.

What’s crazy is that all I really want out of a social platform is 2010’s Facebook. That was perfect. I was keeping in touch with friends and staying updated with their lives. I want that back so bad.

This dude has lived a post-Tubgirl life and thinks he’s tough.

Then self-host your own instance.

I’ve read the post, and I’m still unhappy with their decision. Capitulation only accelerates fascism.

Faster?
