@summertime oh wow thanks for the link

It’s been a while since i got slashdotted 😅

I love how most of that thread is bickering about the correct definition of “decentralized” —

the [Dictionary Fallacy](https://effectiviology.com/appeal-to-definition/) is such a booby trap for clever passionate people, totally flips a conversation from collaboration into competition and rage

— while ignoring the core fact that #Bluesky is *owned by goblins* who are totally gonna push it down the #enshitification path no matter what its network topology looks like.

(goblin owners including the *actual guy* who fucked up Twitter and then sold it to the second worst person on the planet)

I wish ATProto was a proper old-school open standard, since there’s a lot of cool ideas in it, and some well-intentioned dedicated hobbyists building a community around it, but it’s still mostly a wishful-thinking stalking-horse for a single company and their greedy #utilitopian owners.

I’m gonna have to look at that page more after I get some coffee.
