 I disagree. Anything that is a “protocol” but has only one client isn’t a protocol or decentralized. It’s not intellectually lazy, it’s just true. 

The fact that censorship is possible at all is a contra facto against bluesky.

 Meh, every protocol starts with one client. That doesn’t mean progress hasn’t been made (most of the backend stack can be self-hosted with all the same data as the “official” backend, except one part AFAIU, which required a lot of work), nor that more progress won’t be made.

Yea, Bluesky has moderation, but that doesn’t mean it’s some centralized censored crap - especially if they manage to decentralize further and lean into the decentralized opt-in moderation design they have!
