@rolle

This is why I’m on the Fediverse, bridging with BlueSky. Because I’d be happy to federate with them, if they’d open up as standard.

But they don’t. They want to keep to themselves unless someone explicitly says they want to bridge to Fediverse.

That’s the reason I don’t really trust BlueSky.

Did you see the European PDS, EuroSky?

@rolle Well, the problem is that vast majority of people don't care about this.

*But*, one lesson from the forkiverse should be, this is still a great selling point for community organizers. And they can bring over their people.

@doktorzjivago @rolle Let's hope they do run out of money...

🙄

@rolle Yes, I would say the biggest challenge is the amount of data that is transferred there, which makes it hardly suitable for a home server. A Hubzilla installation can be set up as PHP on the side. The system does not require every user to have their own relay at home.

The question is, at what number of offerings is decentralization achieved? Are Bluesky and Blacksky sufficient, or do we also need Eurosky and Northernsky, and so on? And is it necessary for decentralization that everyone can host at home...

Basically, the statement often made in the Fediverse that there is only one AppView and that Bluesky can therefore simply pull the plug is, in my view, incorrect and, for many people, more a matter of populism.

Currently, if I am not satisfied with Bluesky's moderation of applications, I can easily switch to Blacksky.

@zotheca So I've heard. But there are challenges.

@rolle Blacksky has its own AppView and a Bluesky-independent way of unlocking users who have been blocked by Bluesky, for example.
A person can host a PDS on a server of their choice, including their own, and connect to the service they prefer.
