dont think ill take bluesky seriously until alternative servers can exist on the same level as bsky.social completely independently from the bluesky company

right now, if bluesky disappeared, the whole network dies with it, and there are serious restrictions on what pdses can do which bsky.social doesnt have to deal with :/

basically im just asking for the bluesky network to have neutrality in the same way the internet and the fediverse do

because right now its just as bad as being centralised, to me. if bluesky ultimately has total control of the network and has the final say then i dont see the point really

i think when it comes to social networking and digital platforms housing peoples speech and personal expression there shouldn't be an all powerful governing body

im not just writing off the thing i dont like for the sake of it. competition in software is healthy and i want bluesky to be a reasonable alternative to fedi. its just that, i dont think it is, at least until bluesky relaxes their restrictions and releases more of their code to be self-hosted
