Nice and clear indicators of how decentralized the fediverse and the "atmosphere" really are.

That happened fast, censorship demands already reached Bluesky and got applied. Third-party apps are not affected for now, likely due to their limited audience.

Bluesky is already hitting growth pains regarding moderation and its guidelines. By being centralized it is also more at risk within the current US political climate.

Yet another long piece in this interesting and in depth conversation about Bluesky. The fact that it stays civil is called out explicitly and this is appreciated.

Very good piece explaining why the Ferdiverse is currently our only option for a decentralized social media platform. Maybe Bluesky will become another option... maybe... but so far it's only empty promises with a real risk of capture.

The debate about how BlueSky and decentralisation or federation continues. It's nice to see how civilized the people involved are. This is how we can make progress.

A long and comprehensive analysis of Bluesky. Also brings interesting critiques about both Bluesky and the Fediverse. Clearly Bluesky as of today is not effectively decentralized and shouldn't be considered as such.
