"surprised there hasn't been more talk on here about the implications of the false promises of AT Proto's #decentralization"

there's feverish true believers who think #bitcoin is the future of money

never going to happen: massive energy use

that doesn't stop the true believer

it's a cult

same with " #bluesky is #decentralized"

and my example of bitcoin is purposeful:

bluesky is run by #cryptoBros, and funded by #crypto bros

they imported the crypto con job to #socialMedia

@erikcats

#bluesky apparently *can* be #decentralized

someday

always someday, never today

miss me with that cult noise of endless hype promise and "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain" reality

bluesky is #centralized #corporate bullshit

and someday the #cryptoBros who run it and the #crypto bros who fund it will turn it into another #twitter

in fact, it might be happening right now

fuck bluesky

More #Bluesky #drama for you

Someone was suspended

Death threats? Plain criticism? I didn't investigate

But:

The suspension affects #Blacksky as well

All this talk about the *promise* of #decentralization

But that is not the reality

Cultists buy the promise and ignore the reality

Come to #Mastodon / #Fediverse

Oh we have drama too

Some instances suspend out of capricious bullshit, a Spanish Inquisition

But you still have reach:

We are truly #decentralized

@irelephant

#mastodon is #decentralized

#bluesky is not

see the post at top

i feel like i'm talking to a #bitcoin/ #crypto cultist

same desperate defense

rooted in not reality, but rooted in the fact they bought into a lie, a promise, and thus they *must* ignore the actual reality, because devotion to the promise is job #1, not reality

look at the post at top

look at it

and compare with your words

you. are. a. cultist.

@irelephant

well let me put a fine point on it:

#mastodon is truly #decentralized, while #bluesky is not yet sells a lie it is, and fools believe

true #decentralization makes mastodon truly technologically superior to bluesky

not because i'm an egocentric cultist. but because that is the simple reality of the situation

"well i don't like your attitude"

my attitude has nothing to do with it

in fact, that's projection

the issue is reality

which you reject because *you* are the cultist

@irelephant

you're replying to a post in which it is demonstrated that a suspension from #bluesky affects #blacksky

to ignore that, and yet still say what you just said, is rather cultish of you

so, ironic indeed

am i a cultist for championing #mastodon over bluesky?

i can be suspended from your server, calckey.world

doesn't affect my reach with other servers:

the #fediverse is truly #decentralized

meanwhile, i ask you to look at the post above again

because #reality is not a cult

One of thing that I find annoying in various decentralized identities is that in 99.99% cases or more it is some awful unreadable meaningless opaque string (obviously either public key or its hash).
Humanity should create more meaningful (human-friendly) form of decentralized identies, that likely could be visualized as some "contact card", optionally with image, with name, and e. g. qr code or other representation of cryptographic material. ⬇️
