@mcc@mastodon.social Perhaps. Bluesky also didn't bother with decentralization when it launched, skipping past the hard problems of onboarding and discovery that are unique to decentralized systems. Sure, no normal person cares about "decentralization"... until another billionaire buys your favourite platform and turns it into a right-wing propaganda machine.

@Gargron@mastodon.social Yes, I'm having a very interesting experience with that right now myself.

I self host my Bluesky account. But the other day they locked me out of the website, because I haven't agreed to the new site rules yet. I can keep using the phone app because I turned off updates (until it breaks), and I can do some things on PC using open source tools like pdsls, but that only works for viewing my own posts, not things like notifications which require the "Relay".
