Lol it's amazing how much fuckshit the New York Times manages to spread around. They have this tech podcast called "Hard Fork" and one might think, ehn it's a tech podcast, how much could they really jack in some shenanigans? Oh sweet summer child...

Just listened to this segment with a Bluesky developer where they talk all about decentralization but do not mention Mastodon, Pixelfed, Pleroma, or christ even the ActivityPub protocol they are leveraging. Made it out like the concept of federation was the groundbreaking brainchild of Jack Dorsey and some ex-Twitter employees.

The audacity of claiming that mantle, not mentioning other projects you pretend to interoperate with, and then only gives nods of legitimacy to the billionair tech bro who somehow confers sufficient institutional inertia... in a conversation about decentralization... wtaf? Embarrassing levels of bullshit
