People are so dumb for still recommending bluesky it's just leaving one peice of shit for another that will definitely turn into a peice of shit like all proprietary software does
Blue sky has an algorithm, people really want their algorithms. They don't want to have to go and search out all of the content, they want to be spoon-fed. When Twitter exploded and Mastodon had their API gate, a lot of journalists and celebrities tested out the water on Mastodon but over time they slowly bled over and end up in Bluesky.
I'm not saying that Mastodon can't survive without an algorithm but they don't make any attempt to deliver content to a person that they find relevant. It's all organic discovery and that's very 00's ish.
But, all the liberals are there now, so it must be great! /s
BlueSky is open source.

It's only partial. Also partially de-centralized (most important parts aren't!) Try to self host your private bsky and notice somethin...
It seems that it costs more than what I pay for internet access in order to independently communicate with people using Bluesky, so the license used with a git repository doesn't make it much more likely that I'll use it: https://dustycloud.org/blog/how-decentralized-is-bluesky/
