Is "decentralizedwashing" a term yet? See recent #bluesky discussions like: https://social.wildeboer.net/@jwildeboer/113487613965056474

IMHO: #BlueSky isn't decentralised or federated. The outage on 2024-11-14 is obvious proof. It may *look* decentralised and they definitely love to outsource traffic/storage costs by claiming that running your own PDS (Personal Data Server) is somehow something federated, but that's all smoke and mirrors. You have to go deep on [1] to find "networking through Relays instead of server-to-server" as their current implementation choice. THEY run the relays. No one else. [1] https://bsky.social/ab…
