RE: mastodon.online/@mastodonmigra

Bluesky isn't fucking meant to be a "widely distributed network of small independent servers" — it is meant to be a service through which you have a credible exit if things go to shit for your community.

Blacksky saw that some of the moderation decisions by Bluesky weren't working for their community, so they took on the challenge of setting up infrastructure to support their community.

But this isn't something you do on a whim. It's not designed to operate like that. "Decentralization" can mean different things.

I wrote and participated in an interesting thread on different meanings and implications of decentralization, and how each has trade-offs: bsky.app/profile/thisismissem.

Decentralization doesn't need to mean "I run everything myself", that's just a very specific way of looking at decentralization.
