Bluesky is better and decentralised
How is it better?
If it's really decentralized, where are the other instances?
It's better than X because there's no nonsense right-wing political propaganda and shitty CEO, and it's better than Mastodon because it's more user friendly.
It is meant to be decentralised, but most people aren't creating their own instances.
This is achieved through centralization. There's a reason nobody else is hosting their own PDS. You use the bluesky app, on the bluesky website, through the bluesky servers.
Once you get passed the massive hurdle of making an account (no different than when we all collectively figured out email), it's the exact same UI and experience.
It always makes me laugh when people say "sign up is hard"...it's 100% just an excuse, and a majority of the time the effort involved before coming to this conclusion is 0.
