    Eh. Doesn’t seem too bad, but then again, I haven’t made an account there because of it not really being decentralized enough for my taste.
    Seems kinda dumb to go from one centralized service like X to another. Bluesky’s claims of being decentralized are highly exaggerated.

          Because there’s a lot of content and, unlike the fediverse, you kind of have to mirror it all (which is good for users but bad for admins).

          @NostraDavid

          Why is it so expensive to federate Bluesky?

          Mostly because it depends on certain centralized services. You can create your own apps and even host your own content, but the discovery and distribution system has a copy of every post so that it is easy to access by everyone. The positive side is that you don’t have to worry about missing replies in the conversation since their centralized database has a copy of it. The downside is that hosting such a massive database is expensive.

        I have like $10.52 in my checking acc right now, but am still currently federating and have been for like 3 months, specifically the social-app and the PDS.
