Farcaster

The vast majority of people are not joining Bluesky because it's decentralized. They are joining a centralized app (Bluesky) that's not controlled by Elon and offers a decent UX. And that's been extraordinarily successful for them!

If that was the primary criteria, Mastodon, Nostr or Farcaster are more decentralized today.

Good write up on all the stuff that's not decentralized today on Bsky.

I think @dwr.eth is right about why people are exiting 𝕏, but wrong about why they are choosing BSky over Mastodon, Nostr or Farcaster.

The public is starting to see BSky as the "free speech" version of 𝕏 where:
"any site can remove content but nobody can truly censor any voice who wants to be heard as they can easily move among servers at ease and retain their followers." *

* this quoted text is from a tweet i'll drop in the comments and what normies refer to as "decentralized"

It's not about the technical reality that DNS or did:PLC is not as censorship resistant as ENS or Farcaster FIDs. It's about the perception that it is "sufficiently decentralized". And just as important, it is viewed as an open platform because everything is open source.

Strong disagree, but there's no way to prove either scenario.

My data is 4 years of onboarding 10s of thousands of people to decentralized media. But again, anecdotal. :)

💯 Haha. I had added “do you have data to support your opinion”, but cut that sentence when I realized I didn’t either. 😂
