    It’s popularity had nothing to do with the protocol and making cries to such does nothing.

    Make fediverse competitive client wise, and stop screeching at peoples in the center when they call Gavin progressive 🤷‍♂️. It’s not the tech that keeps people away, it’s the users.

      Agreed. They’re both open on the internet and the data is in many repositories. Moot point (OPs’, not yours).

        It obviously matters whether the data and control is mostly in one company’s hands, not just whether it is in “many repositories”.

          Do you not get ‘open on the internet’? All the three letter agencies hoover the data up, your countries equivalents do as well, other companies. It’s only a bit in one companies hands, because it’s ‘open on the internet’, just like xitter, facebook, tiktok, their walled gardens don’t stop state level actors, just us plebs (a bit). That just leaves control (in real time), some power, some money there, but long term it’s the data that counts.

      The cries are about how Bluesky uses it and implements the required infrastructure, not the protocol itself.

      I’ve run into people like that on Bluesky much more than on the fediverse. They do of course exist on both.
