I don't particularly like AT proto, aside the bridge, i'm not there, I find it extremely difficult to understand it, for no relevant reason to me.
On the contrary, ActivityPub can be understood in 5 minutes from anyone willing to.

What I mean is that, once someone prove to be able to fully self-host AT, it's up to people to do so.
It became open to decentralization.

Your account is on the flagship mastodon instance, that 25% is also concerning, ok, less concerning but still concerning.

I guess also mastodon.social had 100% of share at the beginning

Last year they got 100%, I don't think they have still 99%, but let's see in one year from now.

@benroyce @luca brilliant analogy Ben.

And besides visibility, I think Link - and other people who got banned - may have also lost the ability to log onto their accounts. Post history, social graph, followers, poof! All gone up in smoke (as far as I can tell, correct me if I'm wrong).

On the Fediverse, my self-hosted GoToSocial instance ensures I have full control. Sure, I can be blocked by scores of other instances, but I still have control over my data. The true power of decentralization

@luca @_elena

just scroll up

look at the top post

it shows someone is suspended on bluesky and as a consequence they don't show up on blacksky

it's like someone suspends you on mastodon.social, then also you're not visible anymore on sironi.tk

@_elena @benroyce

I could be wrong, but I think I heard Rudy Fraser saying that they also have a running app-view

@luca @_elena

how is 99% bluesky "also true" for 25% mastodon.social's share?

it's not "also true"

99 does equal 25

in fact, large parts of the fediverse suspend mastodon.social

please read and understand:

@luca @benroyce they are relying on relays and the appview provided by Bluesky... that's why they share the same moderation. I don't understand the technicalities of it but they are not fully independent yet

@_elena @benroyce i don't get it.
Blacksky afaik have, or it's close to have, all pieces of the atproto stack.

Then, of course, reach is compromised if 99% of people use just bluesky pieces, but that's also true for someone that's is banned by the top instances here.

"surprised there hasn't been more talk on here about the implications of the false promises of AT Proto's #decentralization"

there's feverish true believers who think #bitcoin is the future of money

never going to happen: massive energy use

that doesn't stop the true believer

it's a cult

same with "#bluesky is #decentralized"

and my example of bitcoin is purposeful:

bluesky is run by #cryptoBros, and funded by #crypto bros

they imported the crypto con job to #socialMedia
