Must be nice to start a centrally controlled social network call it decentralized and then just let other people not on the company payroll do all the work for you.

It is actually decentralized though? You can host your own pds and relay for pretty cheap now.

So how many people are doing that? I doubt more then 5% of their users are actually using a pds.
How many times do we have to watch venture capitalists enshittify services before people learn. Do you really think bluesky doesnt have plans to extract every drop of ad revenue and data harvesting at some point, decentralization doesnt work with that business model, sure its fine now in the honeymoon phase but wait till Jack decides ita time to cash out.

I mean, you don’t like BlueSky, fair. But Jack Dorsey left like…over a year ago.

Sure, and the 14b he gave was with no strings attached.
Its not like Jay Garber is any better

I agree. That’s why I’m happy it’s fully decentralised, so that by the time they try to do that, they’ll be but one player on atproto, and won’t be able to get away with it.

Id love to be wrong, but much like how meta patched threads into AP, i see this primarily as a performative gesture to allow them to take credit for “federating” when they have no intention of allowing it to get out of there control.
