    Bluesky is not as decentralized as you think… Just saying.

      That is actually an advantage. Centralized platforms are able to achieve larger audiences, increasing the chance that I will be able to find content I actually care about.

          On Bluesky you can choose which algorithm/s you want to see though and even create your own.
