Not everyone is comfortable using Bluesky.

Why? What’s wrong with it? What have I missed?

It's a centralized Twitter clone run by a faceless vulture capitalist corporation that's now full of the second worst people to occupy Twitter. At best they're harvesting all of your data, at worst they're prepping the data they've harvested to be handed over to the trump administration and whatever AI powered hyper Nazi tool theyll use to set up raids on dissenters.

It's building out federation and you can already host your own account and control your own data and run your own feeds. The investors don't have control of the company (public benefit corporation).

The only difference between it and Mastodon in terms of scraping is that scraping public data is a bit easier. Nothing about Mastodon makes that scraping difficult, it's just more annoying to do. The company itself is not doing AI BS.

except, its not. they control the keys to the kingdom and will until they change some fundamental parts of their architecture.

heres a great indepth, technical read on why bluesky controls even your 'independent' 'instance'

I agree, though a more accurate summary is that their goal is not decentralization but providing an easy exodus from any rogue instance of itself. More specifically, Bluesky cannot control your own relay if you self-host it, but you must host basically the entirety of Twitter, including everything that was moderated.

Wow, that is certainly a take.
