BlueSky is cosplaying #decentralization
rys.io/en/167.html

> Almost exactly six months after #Twitter got taken over by a petulant edge lord, people seem to be done with grieving the communities this disrupted and connections they lost, and are ready, eager even, to jump head-first into another toxic relationship. This time with BlueSky.

tl;dr:
- #BlueSky seems designed to get secondarily centralized in the "reach" layer (as they call it)
- moderation is an afterthought

I think we need Decentralized Identity to finally happen more than anything. There's no reason why, in this age, the Fediverse still works like E-mail. With all our data and identity stored on a single server identified with a traditional user@domain URL.

Once you can use your private key to interact with your identity on any server at any time, that's when #decentralization can really kick off. Mastodon.social down? No problem! Just seamlessly continue from another server...


We should have a few BIG landing-pad servers for new people, always.

"Find a nice server" is an impossible first step.

"Make an account on any of these big servers, it doesn't matter which. Later when you notice all the most interesting people hang at x.y, move there. No biggie." is what the advice to new users should be, IMO.

Comparing my oldest website bihlink.com with Yahoo and Google on archive .org back in 2003...

Yes, i was creating web directory for #Bosnia and other #Balkan countries similar to #Yahoo back then, but #Google started DIRTY game soon after with PR (Page Rank) system and started punishing web directories as they call it "Link Farming" back then. Soon after i realized they want to remove biggest competitors out of game.

Not that i could compete with any of these two, but if that dirty game didn't start, today BiH Link would be really really BIG thing, at list in #Europe.

I was shocked back then that Google crawled only few pages from my domain which had about 200.000 pages back tehn and it was growing to over 800.000 web pages. But i was loosing so much traffic as Google were growing their influence and years after i was so angry and REMOVED whole database, even deleted backups 😥 SAD...

F. U. Google! 🖕
I believe that #decentralization and #Fediverse is future, one way or another, because we are getting fed up with Google playing BIG BROTHER and dictating whole interent, playing US with ever changing algorithms and killing real value of interent...



"A decentralized, interoperable Internet is an explicit tradeoff: you lose the power that comes from convincing the platforms to eliminate the speech that disturbs or upsets you, but you gain the power to move to an online community where speech policies are to your liking...and you still get to talk to people who want different speech policies."
