@dansup Going from one walled garden to another walled garden... SMH

@jglypt @dansup I thought this was well known by now. AT proto is a sham, you cannot use it without depending on Bluesky central, see: social.wildeboer.net/@jwildebo plus they are also centralized as a commercial entity, meaning they will need to profit off of you sooner or later, that can only be done by building a wall around you journa.host/@scottmstedman/113

social.wildeboer.netJan Wildeboer 😷:krulorange: (@jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net)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.

@chebra @dansup not necessarily.

I have my PDS setup and when Bluesky was down for most people I was able to access it all fine from my alt account (self hosted) and all the other self hostess were fine too. social.lol/@jglypt/11349827410

& they're developing a subscription based model for monetising. but if they _were_ to do something like ads, someone could just fork it and change the lexicon info and you’d be able to take all your followers & posts with you.

social.loljack - more active on 🦋 (@jglypt@social.lol)@jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net well I host my alt account on my own PDS on a little Raspberry Pi, and whilst the website was slow on my main, from my alt you wouldn’t have known it was slow or down.

@jglypt Tell me one thing, do they have the ability to:
- shadowban or promote posts in the timeline for other users?
- cut off your "self-hosted" instance?
- will you be able to connect to other self-hosted instances if they cut you off?
- if you type "cisgender" into a bluesky message, can they ban your account or hide that post?
- can they be bought by Elon?
