Comment on YSK: Before she was the CEO of BlueSky Jay Graeber worked in cryptocurrency

I keep seeing people ask why people call Bluesky decentralised. I never see people call Bluesky decentralised.

(Okay, “never” isn’t quite correct, I’ve seen the term used in relation to Bluesky maybe a handful of times but you make it sound like that’s their main selling point)

I never see people call Bluesky decentralised.

I find that surprising, because BlueSky uses that term: bsky.social/about/…/02-22-2024-open-social-web

Jay Graeber herself described it as such.

Here is the Verge calling it decentralized: theverge.com/…/bluesky-ceo-jay-graber-interview-d…

Here is NYT calling it decentralized: www.nytimes.com/…/bluesky-x-alternative.html

Here is CNN calling decentralized: www.cnn.com/2023/04/28/tech/bluesky-social/
