    It’s building out federation and you can already host your own account and control your own data and run your own feeds. The investors don’t have control of the company (public benefit corporation).

    The only difference between it and Mastodon in terms of scraping is that scraping public data is a bit easier. Nothing about Mastodon makes that scraping difficult, it’s just more annoying to do. The company itself is not doing AI BS.

        I agree, though a more accurate summary is that their goal is not decentralization but providing an easy exodus from any rogue instance of itself. More specifically, Bluesky cannot control your own relay if you self-host it, but you must host basically the entirety of Twitter, including everything that was moderated.

      Well that’s an excuse for a couple of the problems, doesn’t solve the user base problem, which still makes it awful. LinkedIn without their data policy is still a god awful social media site.
