 How dafuq is BlueSky decentralized? Just because you can run a personal data server (PDS)?

🤔

 BlueSky is not decentralized at all. 
 It's just built atop the AT Protocol, which can enable a Mastodon like Fediverse

But even that's not really decentralized, because your instance owner can kick you out 
 It allows them to say "no" better than we can. I have seen the darkness. 😉😜 
 Hello hello

 Thanks, great read

BlueSky has always sounded fishy to me 
 If a platform can moderate your DMs, it's not decentralized lol 😆 
 looked into it for a bit a while ago; TLDR it's bullshit:

yes, you can run your own PDS but you have extreme limitations because everyone connects to their hub (which sets the rules), it's way less decentralized than even mastodon
