99% isn’t the threshold. I’d say like 25% or less
Comment on Can we please stop arguing about whether Bluesky is decentralized?

Yes, as soon as 99%+ of the users aren’t on the same server. That’s the bottom line. We can argue theory all day but it doesn’t change the implications of centralization.

Well 25% is very strict, pretty sure mastodon.social is more than that for the Fediverse
But yea anything higher than 75% is kinda missing the point, ideally if anyone hit 50% they would close signups and suggest people signup on alternatives instead lol
join-lemmy.org actually hides any instance of 30% of Lemmy github.com/LemmyNet/…/instances.tsx#L451-L456

Is that what you would actually expect Bluesky to do if they were committed to decentralization?

I said “ideally”, but they probably would’ve done a lot of things differently if they were committed to decentralization

Bluesky traded good user distribution for growth.

Doesn’t LW control ~30% of the lemmyverse?

Lemmyverse != threadiverse
irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 weeks ago
It controls ~30% of the threadiverse, then.

Alternate ATP servers:
Honourable mention to AppViewLite which lets you easily and cheaply host an appview yourself. I can run it on my laptop easily. It doesn’t depend on relays, it can crawls PDSes directly.
Plus the many other instances here: github.com/mary-ext/atproto-scraping
