No but it is decentralized
bluesky is crap. it requires an invite and id verification. 100% will turn into a fascist navel-gazing network.
Well that certainly is a hot take
Id verification since when? I haven't done that.
jack is a fascist so it shouldnt surprise anyone
The rest of the platforms which will still be using anonymous access will be invaded by AI's astroturfing their stuff into your face. Which one do you prefer?
It's literally impossible for any social network to ever under any circumstances be relevant/important enough that asking for an ID could theoretically be forgivable under any circumstances, let alone valid.
There are very few scenarios where any website asking for an ID should even be legal. It's a massive and inexcusable privacy issue.
People won't fight for privacy. They already know that they are spied on but still they do not react.
But it claims it will become decentralized (unless something has changed in the last month or so).
I believe they opened things up to developers recently. I do think they will become decentralized, but am more concerned it will become a "no censorship" aka "no moderation" mess pretty quickly. It relies quite heavily on filters and aggregators rather than moderators.
