 somebody wasn't happy!  
 Great article, thanks for the write up. But how can bluesky be decentralized if it has a CEO? 🤔 
 There's bluesky the company and at the protocol. Bluesky the company has a ceo. The at protocol is developed by said company with the explicit goal of decentralization.  
 you seem to have a lot of time to spare  
 This is just regular social media

 Hello world 
 Welcome in

I don't want to be unnecessarily critical, but nostr has almost all these same problems 
 So, how’s that nostr-based GitHub alternative that nostr:npub1sg6plzptd64u62a878hep2kev88swjh3t...

 Quite decent, but extension support is janky and it crashes easily

 Trying to restrict llms is a losing battle

 Hi!  
 Hmmmm, I think the level of control bluesky has is exaggerated somewhat  
 Does my NIP-05 even work???
 
 Nice, I should fix that
