Exactly. Pointing out that #Bluesky isn't *practically* decentralized yet is not a critique, it's a statement of the work they need to do. (and I wish them luck!)
Mastodon has its own demons to slay. No one is perfect here! We're just talking about how things should improve. I so don't want us to form a circular firing squad. We can all win.

very interesting conversation between @rabble.nz and @mike
(and I wish @rabble.nz had a #peertube channel 🙂 )
New information on W social:
* Bluesky and W: "posts and comments made on one will be visible on the other"
* Ingmar Rentzhog of We Don't Have Time owns 25%, other investors also have shares in that company
* Received €2.5m in funding and the team is 25 people
* Eurostack chair Christina Caffarra and other politically well connected individuals on board of advisors (see full list below)
* Monetization through ads and microtransactions for paywalled content
Très intéressant de constater la différence de réception entre les communautés #Bluesky et #Fediverse dans le cas de l'exemple d'une publication récente par @LeMuseum :

What does a Discord replacement look like, and how might the open social web play a part?
@laurenshof
looks at what needs to happen — different apps built on the same protocols, active collaboration to make sure it all fits together — and how that's already fundamental to the Atmosphere and fediverse.

Blacksky went from a "custom feed that created a sense of shared space" to being the first independent ATProto microblogging community outside of Bluesky.
This is where the focus needs to be in the fediverse as well. Creating safe and welcoming communities that people want to be part of.

Every now and then people break into a fight on here over fediverse vs the Atmosphere (or Bluesky, as its main representative).
I get it. Many of us get frustrated when we see people flocking to a VC-funded fediverse competitor.
But let's focus this energy on making the fediverse a place people want to spend their time in.
Ho creato il bridge ufficiale per @ransomnews.online da #bluesky
Siamo anche su LinkedIn (sì, anche su Ics) e ci saranno novità interessanti =)
After about twelve hours, the same post had received more than 300 shares and likes on Mastodon, while it had only been shared three times and liked four times on BlueSky.
I'm no social media expert, but it's amazing how reluctant people are to use Mastodon because of its lack of reach and interaction.
If we bring more people here, the Fediverse could become the de facto public square.

Bluesky and Wide Decentralization
Contrary to current perceptions, Bluesky can not be widely decentralized because full independence on AT Protocol simply costs too much. This is not something that can be fixed. It is based on the inherent architecture of the protocol.
All ATProto components rely on some very expensive network resources, accordingly there will never be very many, making these resources points of centralization.

@pfrazee.com writes about how decentralization in #bluesky / #atproto compares to the architecture of ActivityPub & networks like Nostr: https://www.pfrazee.com/blog/practical-decentralization
"There are still challenges in front of atproto. Bluesky is still too large of a player (…) Do I worry about those problems? Of course I do. But am I confident we'll solve them? Absolutely"
"Atproto isn't federation. It isn't p2p. It isn't blockchains. It's a direct attempt at practical decentralization, tradeoffs and all"

In a recent comparison of engagement around a Leave.X campaign post,[1] someone pointed out that a female journalist who is active in the feminist movement and critical of Big Tech had a very different experience than others.
The Mastodon post was shared twice, while the Bluesky version was shared over 200 times and received significantly more interactions. This raises questions about tech-savvy spaces like Mastodon and how they reflect broader societal issues.
For women on Mastodon:
Do you feel that the patriarchal dynamics and male behavior in this space, which is still largely dominated by white men, make it harder for women to participate?

And it's official.
"communities are coming to Bluesky this year"
It's here! SocialFusion is now in public beta! 🥳
One app. Your Mastodon timeline and your Bluesky feed, together.
I built this because I got tired of checking two apps to keep up with the people I care about. If you're on both networks, this is for you.
It's written entirely in Swift for a smooth, native iOS experience.
Join the beta: https://testflight.apple.com/join/EhYZnjd2

Yeah, seems the migration has worked, hi from my new Wafrn account on the https://meowing.men :3 Did you know that Wafrn allows you to interact with both Fediverse and Bluesky at THE SAME TIME?!

Bluesky Reveals Massive Hidden Investment
Today #Bluesky revealed that in April 2025 they received a whopping $100M venture capital investment lead by Bain Capital Crypto and that they KEPT IT A SECRET.
https://bsky.social/about/blog/03-19-2026-series-b
So the answer to the big mystery Who Owns Bluesky? (https://mastodon.online/@mastodonmigration/116025246450023071) is finally out. Crypto VCs.
Now, we should be asking why did this company that prides itself on transparency and "decentralization" decide they needed to hide who owned the company?
Edited 240d ago
Can you imagine Mastodon raising 100 MILLION dollars from a crypto VC fund and failing to disclose it... for a full year? No I can't either.
And from their actual press release: "The Atmosphere currently contains about 20 billion public records—the posts, likes, comments and other interactions that bring the ecosystem to life. It's an astonishing collection of what open social infrastructure makes possible."
https://bsky.social/about/blog/03-19-2026-series-b
How I read it: data harvesting at its finest 💁♀️
Even #Bluesky, a supposed alternative to the decaying toxic mess known as X, is a giant data trap.
“In April 2025, Bluesky raised $100 million in Series B funding led by Bain Capital Crypto”
“The Atmosphere currently contains about 20 billion public records—the posts, likes, comments and other interactions” (including blocks + mutelists are public lists).
Anyone who doesn’t see the next move needs only look to #Reddit.
Thanks @_elena for drawing attention to this.

Catching up with some of the news coming out of the Atmosphere conference.
"With Attie, anyone will be able to build their own custom feed just by typing in commands in natural language, the same as if they’re chatting with any other AI chatbot."
I'm guessing NFT profile pictures are next?

@NicelyManifest @_elena @laurenshof
It’s a growing mess, and we’re the ones left to compost it. There’s too much #techshit, and it ends up making everything stink. Why would anyone want to use the #openweb if it smells that bad?
We’ve seen this before - the #encryptionists and the whole #blockchain mess. And now there’s a big overlap with #bluesky.
