It’s federated but not really decentralized. I don’t know if it’s planned down the road to be interoperable with servers that don’t rely on its master server for identity or not.

It's waaaay too polite and clean, to the point of self righteousness. Twitter is still more fun, but it leans too far in the other direction.
Lemmy was too self righteous at first too. People acting like we came here because reddit users were bigots... no, it's because spez is a greedy bastard who ruined the site.
So I think bluesky might become cool like lemmy when people finally relax.
Twitter > BlueSky > Mastodon
Personally I think we should all use the kbin microblog.
I dunno but nobody's on it so I can post tons of funny embarrassing shit. No one follow me.
I've started an account there for cursed images of the govia logo but haven't gotten around to doing anything yet
I was on there, but it seems to me to basically full of the neoliberal crowd that left X when Musk took over. Too much snark IMO.
I mean i have a Bsky account, I don't really use the platform since it doesn't seem all that active in comparison to others available.
From my understanding they created it as a escape from the changes they disliked on twitter, but like in my opinion the privacy settings on it are far too simplistic to be able to function properly as a service. I find myself checking basically every other service instead.
Seems pretty active to me.
I use it alongside.
Eventually with bridges that are surely coming or with their PDS self-hosting architecture, I'll just post using my own infrastructure as I do with ActivityPub and Hubzilla/Friendica/Wordpress now.
We can have more than one place, as long as its still decentralized-- And the only central place within a unified Fediverse should be your own little space within, whether it's an asteroid or a whole galaxy.
