I’m pretty happy with engagement in the Fediverse.

Awesome!

True

Lemmy has about 40,000 monthly active users. Lemmy.world accounts for about 15,500 of that. That’s about 40%.

This site currently measures the concentration of user data for active users: in the Fediverse, this data is on servers (also known as instances); in the Atmosphere, it is on the PDSes that host users’ data repos. All PDSes run by the company Bluesky Social PBC are aggregated in this dataset, since they are under the control of a single entity. Similarly, mastodon.social and mastodon.online are combined as they are run by the same company.

So why does everyone keep referring to Bluesky as decentralized or even comparable to the fediverse

They call it marketing, I call it propaganda.

PDSes only store user data. These are full instances that can be used to browse the network. The idea is to make your account really yours. Bluesky is hosting most of them. But there are some people who do it on their own.

But bluesky controls much more important components in the network, namely the Relay and AppView.

If Bluesky decides to cut off your PDS you are pretty much alone.

Bluesky is pretty much a centralized platform like Twittler.

I suppose PDS instances are included: https://github.com/bluesky-social/pds

It’s running stock Android. I suppose it will also support /e/ OS like the previous ones.

I don’t think it’s coming back, unfortunately.

Der Sprung von XP auf 11 ist ja auch ein ziemlich großer

I’d also consider writing a script with AI, which you don’t understand, as vibe coding. Basically if you wouldn’t be able to do it on your own it’s vibe coding.

In the US maybe but not in Germany, Austria and probably most countries in Europe.

I’m not a lawyer but I suppose it would depend on the ToS and if the user agrees to the recording and processing. But if it allows the extraction of the real identity of the user it’s probably a GDPR issue.
