Comment on Bluesky Is Plotting a Total Takeover of the Social Internet

  We don’t have a hate boner. We see “decentralized” being thrown around like a buzzword and we see that it really doesn’t apply to their platform.

  It’s like “Libertarians” taking the word “libertarian” and shifting the meaning to describe their ideology. It’s a distortion of the spirit of the word.

  …mastodon is still just a copy of twitter with no new features

  What new features does Bluesky have…?

    Being a centralized decentralized platform of course. Very innovative.

    Someone clearly has never used context menus or opened their account settings in Mastodon.

  Reddit is now decentralized, I just set up nginx to cache it🤡

  Oh wait, PDS’ don’t even cache lol

  Also theres already another instance and relays running on a raspberry pi.

  Oh yeah? I can join that second server right now and communicate with folks on the main server?

  Do you have a link to the raspi instance?

  Bluesky’s model is built in a way that means it won’t ever be decentralized. There are plenty of articles about it.

  Oh, when did twitter add CWs that required a clickthrough? The ability to set your own character limit? When did it remove its algorithms to show you posts it considered relevant? When did it become open source? When did it become decentralised and federated? When did it start working on end-to-end encryption for DMs? When did it allow for built in themes?

    Lmao cant tell if youre trolling because all of that is already possible or being worked on (assuming you meant bluesky idk why you wrote twitter)

      and mastodon is still just a copy of twitter with no new features.

      That’s what you said, so I was just going off of that.

  Do you have a link to people talking about running a relay on a raspberry pi? I find it hard to believe that’s possible. A PDS, sure, but a relay requires multiple terabytes of storage alone and plenty of bandwidth/CPU/RAM that I just don’t see a raspberry pi being able to support.

  I’d be curious to hear about any progress on setting up new relays though.

    Heres a good blog, this specific post mentions the independent relays (you can set one up already for under $50 a month) fediversereport.com/atmosphere-report-116/

    Heres the guide on setting up a relay whtwnd.com/bnewbold.net/3lo7a2a4qxg2l

    Heres a speedrun of someone setting one up whtwnd.com/futur.blue/3lkubavdilf2m

    multiple terabytes

    Which will increase heavily in the coming years. Blueskys "de"centralization is basically - use one of three instances, and probably pay for it sooner or later because it’s fucking expensive.
