  BlueSky is not federated. Also German users have outsized representation on Mastodon but most of the network is outside Germany.

    There is always that one comment saying “b-but its technically kinda federated”. It doesnt fucking matter if its federated if 99.999% of all users are on one instance. The entire concept of a long lived, enshittification resistant fediverse relies entirely on being decentralized with a reasonably evenly distributed userbase. You fucking bet lemmy would already be completely worthless right now if people hadnt stopped lemmy.world from grabbing more communities and users.

      I agree with your overall sentiment but also literally 100% of BlueSky users are on one instance.
