   People should not call BlueSky decentralised. It simply isn’t.

     @timcox you’re replying to a toot from neither og those instances, where you aren’t on one either. That’s decentralised.

     Decentralization is hollow when only a handful of "official" instances dominate traffic and visibility. Instances like mastodon.social and mastodon.online, owned and operated by Mastodon gGmbH, form a centralized hub that filters and controls content under the guise of moderation.
