    Bluesky is decentralized only in its name. And media storage.

      This isn’t necessarily true. Just because their architecture is harder and not a simple server host does not strip away its decentralization.

      They have decentralized the following:

      • App access (can build your own or show openProto posts in your platform

      • Algorithms

      • Relay (backend albeit rumored to be expensive)

      • More if you consider the domain name hosting stuff and media storage control. Also moderation is planned to be decentralized.
